Investigation of the local heating effect at the terminal part of a fast positron track sheds light on the accumulation of defects in a frozen medium close to its melting point. Estimations of the formation energies of the structural defects which may trap the Ps atom as well as a contribution of these defects to the enthalpy of fusion are obtained.
