Back to CG technological speculations, but still on the field of nuclear energy.

So far, I've been thinking that energy generation research rather than nukes would a more applicable and less hazardous thing Schneizel would be funding.

During R1, it was emphasized that the KMF, especially the 7th generations ones, with all their power-guzzling gadgets, were prone to quickly run out of power: Lancelot in Kyushu, Gawain during the Black Rebellion. And it still seems to be the case in R2, as in Turn 6 Guren had most of his resources depleted by the end of the episode.

If you add the dialogue between Millay and Suzaku during Turn 5 about Nina: of her working on completing Ganymedes, a generator-less KMF built by her grandfather (Albert?) Einstein.

All of this scream for a future Gundam...erm KMF, with a nuclear generator to power all it's new gadgets.

Now if we reconsider the matter of fusion, we know they have a super efficient supraconductor (Sakuradite), quite a nice mastery of magnetic and force fields (all their guns are railguns, MASER shields, etc...), and high energy radiation seems to be at least applied to weaponry by one faction (Radiation Wave); so if we add all of this, a fusion drive may be not so far in the future.
