Initial capital expenditures are estimated at roughly $1.43 billion driven primarily by potential drydock construction, salvage fleet acquisition, and contingency for catastrophic disposal; expected recurring operations are roughly $60.25M/year driven by staffed salvage readiness, monitoring, research, and logistics.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed categories and ranges, allowing a reasonable mid-range estimate, but many line items (e.g., drydock construction vs leasing, reactor removal, frequency of incidents) have large uncertainty due to anomalous, scenario-dependent costs.
