Government-sponsored ~~physics-oriented defense~~ research in Cryria dates back to 1941 with the founding of the King Albert ~~Military~~ Institute in Leidenstad~~. For much of its early existence, the institute's focus was on conventional aerospace defense such as jet engines, rockets, and radars~~. Early experiments with nuclear material were conducted by civilian researchers at the University of Leidenstad. It was not until after Ethalrian nuclear tests in the 1950s that ~~KAMI~~ was directed by the Ministry of Defense to examine what was known about these new weapons. The Institute's final report would initiate discussions within the Cryrian Government regarding the peaceful and military uses of nuclear technology. Although the military interests in nuclear technology remained shrouded in secrecy, close connections soon formed between it and ~~the~~ civilian nuclear program due to both a need to share limited resources and expertise, as well as a desire to conceal military nuclear activities beneath civilian ones. This unique Military-Civil relationship would come to define the Cryrian nuclear program throughout its history.

This unique Military-Civil relationship would come to define the Cryrian nuclear program throughout its history.

Beginning in 1955, KARMA was granted additional funding for nuclear weapons studies, which was granted under the cover of civil programs by the Energy Ministry. By 1956 KARMA had established a sophisticated research program that advanced along five designated axes - Research, materials acquisition, reactor, enrichment facility, and power plant construction, delivery system development, and weapons assembly. At this point KARMA had an estimated sixty researchers dedicated to these projects, and had sourced another sixty from other government agencies and universities. Materials acquisition became the highest initial priority. The rich Suhar uranium deposit in Tynam would not be discovered for another thirty years as mining exploration and later exploitation were badly hampered by local opposition in the region. The Oteri Uranium Mine on the Oshombran Peninsula remained similarly unknown and undeveloped until the 2010s.
