Estimated one-time capital costs are modest but cover sealed wet-containment, secondary overpack, sensors, and testing; recurring annual costs are driven by staff time, facility overhead, monitoring/calibration, compliance, and periodic drills. One-time capital is approximately $61.7k and baseline annual operating ~ $19.4k, with incident scenarios substantially increasing annual cost when triggered.

| Role | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Research Scientist (Level-3) | 1 | [#6] Senior researcher approval overhead and periodic review; part-time allocation reflected in staff wage line |
| Technician (Level-2) | 1 | [#5] Weekly physical checks, container maintenance, and routine sampling/photography (part-time allocation) |
| Administrative Staff | 1 | [#16, #19] Digital archiving management, permit renewals, and legal/admin coordination (incremental allocation) |
Confidence Notes
Line-item ranges and containment approach are well-described, allowing reasonable estimates; however incident probabilities and some site-dependent one-time upgrades (suppression, legal) are uncertain, so overall confidence is medium.
