One-time setup is approximately $3.86M driven by construction of a deep reinforced testing vault and contingency for containment upgrades; ongoing annual costs are approximately $2.39M, driven by specialist staff wages, D-class procurement, insurance/reserve and recurring research/access costs.

Confidence Notes
Estimates use midpoints of broad analyst ranges; many line items (external beamline time, containment upgrades, insurance/reserve usage) are highly scenario-dependent which reduces precision. Staffing and routine operational costs are better defined, giving medium overall confidence.
