⚡ Cost Scenarios

📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.1M/yr

88.0% probability / year

Normal year with no major incidents; steady SRA operation, scheduled maintenance and routine research.

no breaches scheduled maintenance normal research tempo

🚨 Minor Incident $10.0M/yr

10.0% probability / year +$850K vs baseline

Localized containment incident requiring emergency repairs, overtime, temporary portable SRA or rental, and short-term increased monitoring.

localized structural damage temporary SRA outage small RRT deployment

🚨 Major Breach $33.6M/yr

2.0% probability / year +$24.5M vs baseline

Significant containment breach requiring replacement/extra SRA procurement, major repairs, large-scale RRT deployments, legal exposure and extended research/remediation.

successful large-scale breach SRA damage/failure extended field operations

📋 Confidence Notes

Large uncertainties in SRA availability, per-unit procurement cost, actual power draw, and unknown SCP behavior drive low confidence; many line items are order-of-magnitude estimates.
