⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.6M/yr
87.5% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine maintenance, staffing, and consumables costs only.
no incidents routine maintenance scheduled testing
🚨 Minor Incident $3.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$100K vs baseline
Small internal fire or single‑event ignition causing limited damage, medical treatment for staff, and cleanup/repairs.
localized ignition event minor structural/expense repairs medical treatment and decontamination
🚨 Major Breach $8.6M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$5.0M vs baseline
Containment breach with significant damage to chamber/SRA infrastructure requiring major repairs, contractor mobilization and public‐facing mitigation.
partial SRA failure structural damage major cleanup and contractor mobilization
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $53.6M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Full containment loss, replacement of containment infrastructure and SRA, large legal/compensation/PR costs and possible site shutdown.
SRA total failure public exposure major property damage / litigation

📋 Confidence Notes
Many line items are present and estimated, but the Class‑IV SRA cost and frequency/severity of incidents are highly uncertain; estimates are order‑of‑magnitude and dependent on site reuse options and insurance coverage.
