⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $2.8M/yr
90.4% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; routine containment, monitoring, research and maintenance continue.
no breach normal research/maintenance routine waste disposal
🚨 Minor Incident $3.0M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Limited contamination event or small containment breach requiring extra cleanup, short-term medical checks and increased waste processing.
localized contamination small equipment failure extra cleanup operations
🚨 Major Breach $7.8M/yr
1.5% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Partial containment failure requiring lead re-encapsulation, major decontamination, temporary relocation of personnel, extensive waste handling and legal response.
structural breach sustained uncontained emissions large-scale cleanup
🚨 Catastrophic Failure $102.8M/yr
0.1% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Full uncontained catastrophic radiological event causing regional damage requiring massive emergency response, legal settlements and long-term remediation.

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 16 [#11, #12] Eight dedicated guard FTEs for 24/7 coverage plus eight reserve/on-call guards included in staff wage estimates.
📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item cost ranges were provided and used to form mid-point estimates, but significant uncertainty remains around breach probabilities, contingency sizing and real-world contracting; therefore confidence is medium.
