CHAPTER 6. SHORT-TERM USE VERSUS LONG-TERM RESOURCE COMMITMENTS
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- and H-Canyons and support facilities to accommodate the management of nuclear materials 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 duration of management 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).
