Initial capital and site establishment are dominated by a large catastrophic/reserve fund and specialized equipment/lab build-outs (~$73.4M one-time). Ongoing annual costs are driven by an active R&D/monitoring program and full-time security/research staff (~$11.6M/yr).

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $11.6M/yr
38.0% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major strategic incidents; includes full R&D program, monitoring, staffing, and readiness costs.
no active-state escalation beyond valley routine training and maintenance ongoing R&D operations
🚨 Minor Incident $12.4M/yr
60.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
One or more localized active-state incidents requiring MTF mobilization, increased forensic cleanup, temporary evacuations and overtime.
localized active state(s) MTF deployments and overtime increased cleanup and supply replenishment
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $111.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Strategic-level event (functional missile/nuclear payload or major downstream contamination) requiring national-level response and large cover-up/containment expenditures.
active state produces strategic weapons radiological or widescale contamination political exposure requiring covert national support

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide ranges and many line-item estimates; routine and equipment costs are moderately well-defined but catastrophic/reserve and multi-year R&D expenditures have large uncertainty ranges, so overall confidence is medium.
