single-subject severe exposure localized facility contamination
🚨 Major Breach $1.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Significant containment breach requiring mobile containment team deployment, temporary isolation shelters, major repairs and extended forensic investigation.
large-scale breach mass-casualty or structural compromise
🚨 Political Exposure $2.1M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$500K vs baseline
