⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.5M/yr

83.0% probability / year

Normal year with no major incidents; regular operations, scheduled maintenance and routine research proceed as planned.

normal_operations routine_maintenance

🚨 Minor Incident $3.9M/yr

15.0% probability / year +$350K vs baseline

Localized equipment failure (single EPTF module, battery subsystem, or sensor array) requiring emergency replacement, overtime and limited amnestic/cover operations.

generator_module_failure battery_fault calibration_drift

🚨 Major Breach $6.0M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$2.5M vs baseline

Significant containment equipment loss or temporal escalation requiring replacement of one or more EPTF units, major repairs, expanded emergency operations and partial use of contingency reserves.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates use analyst-provided ranges where possible but EPTF hardware costs and temporal incident frequency are uncertain; bespoke hardware and causal-loop dynamics increase uncertainty to medium.
