First-year one-time costs are dominated by construction, specialized containment equipment, and very large contingency/reserve funds resulting in a multi-hundred-million-dollar setup. Annual recurring costs are driven primarily by radioactive waste shipping, security/personnel, monitoring and long-term stewardship, totaling roughly $11M/yr.

📋 Confidence Notes
Line-item estimates are based on analyst-provided ranges and conservative midpoints; primary uncertainty stems from regulatory/disposal regime variability and low-frequency catastrophic scenarios, which introduce large swings.
