The 1% number was intended to be illustrative, not definitive. I’m not a nuclear risk expert. The QALY figure may also vary.
A $40/yr cost could be a $400 investment that depreciates over ten years. In that case I would value it based on the projected risk over ten years.
I’m not seeing additional value in “nuclear dignity points” above these admittedly hard-to-calculate figures.
To preserve x-risk research during civilizational collapse I think attempts to preserve information and insights would perform better than attempting to preserve individual researchers, especially since it could be done in parallel with preserving other information that aids recovery.
