German term or phrase: unterstellte Ueberflutung
The context is nuclear power--spent nuclear fuel is analysed by flooding its containers with water. But what does unterstellt mean here?

English translation:the suggested/proposed flooding [process/solution etc.]
Explanation:
_unterstellt_ is used with such an apparent meaning in a very similar context here:
>>Dabei wurde allerdings unterstellt, daß die Arbeiten bei dezentraler Konditionierung im Lagerbecken des AKW erfolgen müßten. Ich sehe im Moment keinen nachvollziehbaren Grund dafür. Daraus folgt, daß eine Technik zur vertikalen Ziehung der Brennstäbe aus den BE-Strukturen entwickelt werden müßten (erstens sehe ich nicht, was das Problem ist, und außerdem müssen die BE nicht unbedingt zerlegt werden) und die Kompaktierung der Strukturteile müßte ebenfalls unter Wasser durchgeführt werden.<<

assumed/supposed/implied flooding


Explanation:
This would have to be the normal, dictionary meaning. Without context, I'm afraid it is a little difficult to be more precise.
