🚨 Major Breach $10.8B/yr

0.5% probability / year +$10.7B vs baseline

Catastrophic containment failure or public exposure that results in loss/compromise of fuel, major environmental contamination and large-scale response.

📋 Confidence Notes

Large uncertainties driven by the U-234 procurement/replacement (extremely wide $1B–$50B range), speculative anomalous maintenance (Hume device) and scenario likelihoods. Many values are analyst midpoints; real costs could be orders of magnitude different.
