Nuclear bombs don't fit into the way Kaiser Wilhelm II. glorified war.
Without Nazi Germany there is no Guernica and no WWII style bombing on civilians (or at least it is pretty cool unlikely) so the idea that it is somehow normal to produce a weapon that con incinerate an entire city might be seen differently.
So I guess it would take longer, but eventually somebody will be crazy enough to build one.
Empirial Germany would likely have a smaller need for nuclear power plants due to keeping Silesia and likely annexing Belgium.
Enough Coal and a lower population density than the FRG and the GDR in OTL.
But that's half a century down the line after the POD.
