Initial containment buildout and radiation-hardened equipment are the primary one-time costs (~$1.66M), while staff wages, energy, waste handling and contingency reserves drive recurring annual costs (~$1.63M/year). Main drivers are specialized robotics, shielding/construction, continuous staffing and radioactive waste treatment.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.6M/yr
86.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine maintenance, monitoring, and scheduled research; no major incidents.
no major agitation scheduled maintenance only routine waste throughput
🚨 Minor Incident $1.8M/yr
12.0% probability / year +$120K vs baseline
Localized agitation/sprinkler activations leading to increased waste, temporary repairs, overtime and small equipment replacements.
sprinkler activation temporary increase in radiation emission weekly brick replacements accelerated
🚨 Major Breach $2.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.2M vs baseline
Severe containment failure or major degradation requiring rebuilds, major equipment replacement, large-scale waste disposal and legal/PR responses.
structural shielding failure simultaneous power/cooling loss large uncontrolled radiation release
👥 Personnel 16 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 6 [#14] 24/7 coverage in three shifts; six guards as specified.
Containment Specialist / Technician 4 [#15] FTEs to monitor behavior, run sensors, manage enrichment and containment systems.
Medical Officer 2 [#13] On-call medical personnel trained in radiation exposure and burn care; covers shift overlap and emergency response.
Radiation Safety Officer 1 [#13] RSO oversight (partial FTE included in medical staffing costs).
Engineer / Maintenance 2 [#4, #7, #22] Technicians for HVAC/chiller, generators, manipulators and routine maintenance.
Administrative Staff 1 [#28] Procurement, contracts, compliance coordination and administrative overhead.
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling a reasoned estimate, but significant uncertainty remains due to unknowns in radiation intensity, frequency of agitation, local disposal/licensing regimes and possible reuse of existing hot-cell infrastructure.
