Pulling out the quantum reactor ability is a pretty big change.
Setting the cost down to a relatively small amount, and perhaps reducing its size to 10kt would make the AI vs Humans use of the QR fairer with a minimum of AI side effects.
And I'd have to agree that Talisman and Realism don't mix

Anything goes for something like that.
