Yes, nuclear reactors are safer than devices first created by *the* mad scientists and then destroyed and thus destabilised; nuclear reactor with blown up control system is more apt comparison, thanks for reminder.

... The test, to follow your analogy, would be to check the board layouts, do X-ray and ultrasonic scans and to look where goes what. Not "let's switch on the power and see what happens".
We don't need any such comparisons since we know how the mechanics work out - we would have to crit-fail two rolls (first to fail the research and the second about the range of the failure) which is mathematically a very unlikely event to happen.

Exactly my point. Even this super-careful test by Vulkans of all people has a chance of blowing up a star system.
Imagine the object, even scanning of which might blow up your whole city, and say to me whether you would allow said scanning at all, let alone, say, next door to yoy.

Okay if we fail and blow up the system we will have caused exactly what we said this war was about preventing. Do not expect that to go over well with federation citizens already unsure of this war.

Compared to embedding it into a warp field or dismantling it? Yes. I'd like to know what could happen.

I imagine the mentat who almost blew up a star had a similar thought process

Picking this because I'm not going to pick the "investigate rumors of an independent research house", so hoping to get it through here.
[X][KED] Allow the Ked Paddah to destroy the research station debris.
The Ked Paddah are watching. Let's play it safe and show them how 'prudent' we are for diplomatic purposes. Even if we don't cause an explosion, that we were looking to risk it makes us look reckless to them, and I want them feeling good about us.

You go get some 'glory', Gaeni.

Having an asset on Morshadd itself could be very useful for upcoming negotiations.
EDIT: Hmmm. Akuz's argument about "actions we will never get to do again" has some merit. Dropping Kahuramgi

Why do you think we got a visit from a laughing Q?
Because anytime one of our explorers pokes an temporal or spatial anomaly, something like this could happen.

But mechanically it does not offer unique insight, just rp. We are not going to suddenly understand Licori tech or whatever.
I imagine the odds were lower and thry usually were not in inhabited systems, conquered for, hypocritically enough, recklessly endangering innocent lives in the name of RP bonus.

Do you remember the TNG episodes where Enterprise investigated a time anomaly with tachyons, in three different timestreams, and accidentally prevented life to emerge on earth?
[X][KED] Allow the Ked Paddah to destroy the research station debris.
Both ethics and politics align here. We'll learn what we need on our own, not bending to lick crumbs from the mentant's lab bench.
[X][FRG] Assign TF 6, the Gaeni
Tag, you're it!
[X][MISC] Start a discreet program of tachyon tracking devices along the main routes between Arcadian star systems, like in Orion space.
[X][MISC] Linderley's team on Morshadd could be the nucleus of a useful asset if you can reinforce them.
Infrastructure our problems to death. This is the true strength of the Federation.
[X][MISC] Have retired Admiral Kahurangi start appealing for recruits for Starfleet and the member world fleets.
Also, yes, get some eyes on that.
Good point. Boots to hold the captured territory and hands to do the work. Boots and hands in bulk.

All - Our crew shortage is terrible and there is no guarantee we won't ahve to fight at least one more battle. We really, really need that "Kahurangi recruits" option.
Pretty sure Thunderhead was *not* one of the ships we have refitted to be a Miranda-A.... since I had it on schedule for a 2316 refit.

Well, let's face it, Starfleet's MO is poking things with a stick to see what happens so I wouldn't be surprised if Starfleet would have eventually done something of the sorts without Q interference.
