One-time setup
$2.2M
Annual recurring
$1.1M
Personnel
6
One-time capital/setup costs are estimated at approximately $2.23M driven by specialized high-temperature construction, redundant HVAC/emergency cooling and fire suppression, telepresence robotics, and contingency reserve; recurring annual costs are about $1.106M driven by staff wages, research overhead, insurance/legal/cover costs, maintenance, and specialized consumables.

📋 Confidence Notes
Notes are detailed with ranges for most items, allowing reasonable estimation, but large uncertainty remains due to wide capital cost ranges, site-specific integration, and unpredictable frequency/severity of combustion/regeneration events.
