One-time setup and secure recovery costs are substantial (site recovery, covert transport, vault retrofit and contingency/reserve) while ongoing costs are dominated by staffing, monitoring, legal/administrative overhead, and periodic waste/disposal. First-year (setup + one year ops) capital plus operating costs are on the order of high hundreds of thousands of dollars; ongoing annual costs are roughly $430k/yr.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $430K/yr
96.3% probability / year
Normal uneventful year with routine operations, monitoring, staffing, training, and periodic maintenance/disposal as budgeted.
routine monitoring scheduled maintenance standard waste disposals
🚨 Minor Incident $480K/yr
3.0% probability / year +$50K vs baseline
Small containment or radiological incident requiring emergency response, limited quarantine, additional testing and decontamination.
local contamination event minor equipment failure small personnel exposure
🚨 Major Breach $830K/yr
0.2% probability / year +$400K vs baseline
Significant breach/contamination or discovery that requires cross-site transfers, large-scale remediation, potential legal/cover-up escalation.
failure of storage containment larger-than-expected radiological release major security incident
🚨 Political Exposure $630K/yr
0.5% probability / year +$200K vs baseline
Exposure or inquiry at national/international level (e.g., French authorities, public leak) requiring heavy legal, diplomatic, and cover-up expenditures.
public leak foreign government inquiry documentary or FOIA-style exposure

Role Count Notes
Radiation Safety Officer 1 [#9] RSO salary estimated ~ $90k/yr (included in staff_wages).
Mortuary Technician 1 [#9] Dedicated mortuary technician for handling remains (~$50k/yr).
Security Officer / MTF Agent 2 [#9] Two guards assigned to access control (~$45k/yr each).
📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are well-identified (transport, vault retrofit, staffing) but most are given as wide ranges and several contingent/decision-driven costs (final disposition, contingency reserve, waste disposal) introduce moderate uncertainty; therefore confidence is medium.
