This will not only improve research rates, but is necessary to actually build bombs once the country reaches that point. One must also assign a heavy industrial capacity to the effort to build reactor levels as quickly as research makes increases possible.
For any nation pursuing the goal of being the first to gain the bomb, it is best to simply assign a research slot to the effort, regardless of historical years, and suffer the crawl towards increasing capability. While such a capability is quite an advantage, most countries will have to seriously weigh the importance of pursuing such a capability, due the heavy costs of researching the Nuclear field as well as the follow-on fields which actually provide any capabilities and the need to build an expensive reactor to reap any benefits of the study. The Nuclear field is the necessary building block for any nation aspiring to wield nuclear weapons. Allows Nuclear Reactor size 5 and may lead to weapon and propulsion fields
