Initial setup and acquisition costs are approximately $2.53M one-time (including a $1.0M scale-up reserve); main drivers are containment construction, scale-risk contingency and specialized equipment. Baseline recurring costs are about $1.486M/yr driven primarily by staff wages, MTF readiness/logistics, and ongoing research/maintenance.
