One-time capital is approximately $1.60B driven primarily by construction, 68 SRAs, YBOD development and spare-stockpile procurement; annual operating costs are about $32.84M/year driven by staff wages, power, replacement reserves, and ongoing R&D/monitoring.

Baseline Planning Figure $0
[#30] Planning summary note only; not an additional budget line.
🔄 Annual Recurring Costs Total: $32.8M/yr
Replacement Capital Reserve $10.0M/yr
[#27] Annual capital reserve set aside for scheduled replacement/upgrades of SRAs, YBOD and other critical infrastructure (depreciation planning).
Staff Wages $7.2M/yr
[#9, #11, #12] Annual payroll for full-time containment/security, SRA/YBOD technicians, research staff and core site administration/engineering and medical officers (security 30 FTEs, technicians 15 FTEs, researchers 8 FTEs, engineers 3 FTEs, admin 2, director 1, medical 2).
Power And Fuel $5.0M/yr
[#5] Continuous electricity/fuel operating costs for SRAs, YBOD, generators and site-level MW-class loads (conservative mid estimate).
Research And Monitoring $3.0M/yr
[#12, #13, #26] Ongoing research project budgets, monitoring/sensor storage & maintenance costs, experiment consumables, and applied R&D to improve containment and reduce YBOD reliance.
Cover Story And Legal $1.5M/yr
[#15, #29] Legal retainer, clandestine cover operations, witness relocation/bribes, local government liaisons, and information-security/PR budgets to preserve secrecy.
Facilities Maintenance $1.0M/yr

Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $32.8M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with regular operations, maintenance, and scheduled R&D; no major failures or deployments.
no major equipment failures routine operations and R&D only
🚨 Minor Incident $51.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$18.7M vs baseline
Localized equipment failure or partial SRA/YBOD fault requiring replacement of a single SRA or short-term YBOD repair, limited evacuation and increased legal/cover activity.
single-SRA failure YBOD short-term outage emergency evacuation activation
🚨 Major Breach $279.8M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$247.0M vs baseline
Extended YBOD failure or coordinated damage causing multiple SRA failures and requiring large-scale replacement, emergency neutralization actions, major evacuation and extended legal/contingency operations.
YBOD destruction multiple SRA failures extended breach response

📋 Confidence Notes
Large ranges on SRAs, YBOD development, energy draw, spare needs and contingency sizing create high uncertainty; estimates use mid/high planning assumptions where indicated but true costs could vary materially.
