The story mentions the Chicago pile. In a year they went from a nuclear reaction that produced half a watt to a 4 megawatt reactor.
Technological leaps happen.

The period that elapsed between no aircraft and jet aircraft was about three decades. Counterpoint: In 1969, the largest commercial aircraft ever built was flown for the first time.
45 years later, the Boeing 747 is still being built.
