Nuclear Research Option C

Test Reactor
Through a spherical wooden test chamber with a light water moderator, we can prove if whether or not the radioactive material known as Uranium is capable of a chain reaction at critical mass. Calculations expect the output to be between 0.1 to 1 Watt.

Requirements
100 Construction Factories, 100 Military Factories
4 RP Months

Roll 1d6 after 2 Months, Roll 1d6 and 1d10 after 4 Months

d6
1 - Test Failure; Scientists advise leaving the project.
2 - Test Failure; Add additional month.
3 - Calculations faulty, but otherwise all clear.
4 - Calculations fine.
5 - Calculations fine, reactor promising.
6 - Better than expected, subtract one month [if second d6, subtract one month from TR2]

d10
1 - 0.1 W
2 - 0.2 W
...
9 - 0.9 W
10 - 1.0 W

Test Reactor 2
To continue the research, we can build a cubic wooden test chamber with a light water moderator. However, we will try to increase the output, requiring concrete shielding. Calculations expect the output to be between 500 W to 3.5 kW.
