This section addresses the relationship between short-term uses
of the environment and the maintenance of its long-term
productivity.
Reinstituting activities at the F-Canyon and support facilities to
accommodate the stabilization of plutonium solutions would result
in the short-term resource uses described in Chapter 4.  However,
these activities would not be likely to compromise environmental
resources beyond the 10-year duration of stabilization activities. 
As a result of normal operations, short-term use of the
atmosphere as a receptor for emissions would have an incremental
minimal effect on long-term global atmospheric conditions.  DOE
anticipates no increase in long-term resource commitments
(e.g., electricity consumption).
