Just so you know, with the right connections and the right information access, anybody could build a nuke.

that's a fact.
"John Aristotle Phillips is no stranger to the spotlight. As an undergraduate at Princeton University in the late 1970S, he demonstrated how to design an atomic bomb using information available in public documents. That drew the attention of the CIA, FBI, foreign governments and Hollywood."
he gave a speech i attended in connecticut in '79, and he was trailed by spooks and corporate types from the likes of the big nuclear divisions of westinghouse and abb etc.
he claimed, and it was generally agreed to by experts who read his paper on how to do it that almost anybody could design an effective bomb using information commonly held in larger libraries (this was pre-web). he was a smart guy but he was only a sophomore at the time, no post-doc he, not even a phd. in the following 30 years it hasn't gotten any more difficult to achieve. my guess is that cad/cam has made it a lot easier.
there are no safe nuclear bombs nor safe countries with them, not even ours.
