SCP-8667

Expected annual

$5.5M

One-time setup

$12.5M

Annual recurring

$5.2M

Personnel

Estimated one-time capital and remediation costs are approximately $12,480,000, with recurring annual costs of about $5,235,000; the main recurring drivers are continuous fuel consumption and staffing costs, while initial capital is dominated by power redundancy, facility recommissioning, and contingency reserves.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are low-confidence due to unknowns in SCP power draw, hazard profile, and condition of the decommissioned Site-D4; many ranges were broad and contingent costs are highly scenario-dependent.
