Contingency Replenishment $0/yr
[#18, #25] Recurring replenishment of contingency/reserve (assumed $0/yr baseline; replenishment only if reserve used).
⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.6M/yr
91.5% probability / year
Normal operational year with no major incidents; ongoing staffing, research, waste treatment, and readiness maintained.
no breach routine operations scheduled research and maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
8.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Small containment incident or limited public exposure requiring extra cleanup, short-term medical follow-up, PR payouts, and additional testing.
single-person exposure accidental produced-food ingestion by civilian localized contamination requiring extra disposal
🚨 Major Breach $3.1M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Containment failure or mass exposure requiring large-scale emergency response, reserve deployment, mass medical screening, legal action, and possible site remediation.
containment failure mass exposure public disclosure requiring heavy remediation
👥 Personnel 16 total

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges allowing reasonable mid-point estimates; however large ranges, choice between onsite vs contracted services, frequency assumptions for transports and incidents, and the discretionary long-term research program introduce significant uncertainty.
