Initial capital and spares procurement are the dominant one-time costs (cover fabrication, incineration infrastructure, robotics, site retrofit); recurring costs are dominated by dedicated security staffing, legal/cover reserves, and maintenance/monitoring. Baseline annual operating cost is roughly $1.66M/yr; catastrophic uncontrolled-production events can add millions in one-off emergency costs.
