In AoD (and HoI2) only the US, USSR and Germany can really afford to build nuclear reactors and do anything else with their IC at the same time.
However,
The UK started testing its first nuclear weapons in 1952, France in 1960 (a big step since America's first nuclear weapons test was only a month before Hiroshima was bombed). Both with in the time scale of this game, yet neither can build nuclear reactors unless that is absolutely the only economic action happening. Chain's 1st test was in '64, and a debate could be made if, in game, China could modernize enough to accomplish that.
Of course, out side of the game's time frame India, Pakistan and North Korea are known to have tested nuclear weapons and others have had active programs, yet clearly none of these countries have a chance of building nuclear reactors.
So, my question is, "Should and event/Tech around 1948--1950 lower the cost of nuclear reactors" Perhaps lowering the cost to 25IC instead of 50IC.
