Why are Nukes available to everyone?

How about once the first civ has created the manhatten project all the other civs have to build a prototype of their nukes at a higher cost.

Yes, all the civ's need to complete something exhaustive in order to produce nukes.
Having nukes is another story 'Friendly' civs could give them, event to those missing the proper technology. They could negotiate, 'Declare war to russians and we'll give you 2 nuclear missiles to help you'.
Also, the missiles should have a much longer range, be be truly intercontinental. Any point on the map should be within range.
And MAD also is important. I can hardly wait to see how will be implemnted in CTP2, it looks promising.

The missile payload idea is important - You build a missile and can fit it with different types of warheads.. Some nuclear warheads (differing in megatonnage), Chemical, Biological or Conventional warheads... Or even depth charges..

Heck why don't we make a "MIRV" payload that doubles nuke damage.....

The discovery of nuclear warheads should work like the Spaceship project with
each city building a component..
-Research (Must have 3 scientists)
-Uranium (Must be near Uranium Mines)
-Testing (Must be under pop 5)
-Control (Must be isolated *10 tiles away from all other citites*)

I'm sorry for the bumping, but this was just too funny:

I'm sure your civ will be very happy after that!

So you're saying that you must own a city size 3-5 (3 of which scientists) AND be near uranium AND be 10 tiles away from other cities?

That'll be easy!

Again, another great idea to add realism to the game! Way 2 go, rremus!
