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.
The only direct effect of study in the field is to permit building of a Nuclear Reactor. The technologies in the field mark a linear progression to developing the science behind nuclear reactions, permitting access to studies in nuclear propulsion and weapons.
Nuclear is an Industrial technology field.
