Initial capital costs are approximately $1.6M driven by shielded-room construction, remote manipulators, and contingency/reserve funding; recurring annual costs are roughly $710k driven by staff wages, radioactive-waste handling, monitoring, and disposables.

High Activity Reclassification
$2.2M/yr
Discovery that SCP-719-1 devices are higher-activity than expected, forcing reclassification and high-level-waste handling, long-term storage, and major containment upgrades.

Confidence Notes
Containment hardware and staffing costs are well-specified (medium confidence), but large uncertainty remains around waste-classification, disposal frequency, and potential high-activity reclassification which drive high variance.
