⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $14.4M/yr
90.0% probability / year
Normal year with steady operations, scheduled research, routine maintenance and no major incidents.
no major breach routine research activities scheduled maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $15.2M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Localized containment incident (small-scale conversion event or wildlife contamination) requiring emergency response, overtime and limited remediation.
localized conversion/removal requiring disposal increased overtime and emergency mobilization short-term repairs and extra sampling
🚨 Major Breach $22.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$8.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or public exposure requiring large-scale remediation, legal response and accelerated hardening.
large-scale material removal/conversion event public exposure / media/legal escalation major infrastructure replacement

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges for nearly all cost drivers; uncertainty remains from wide ranges on capital hardening, scale of research needed, and contingency sizing for rare major breaches.
