"According to Ionuț Purica, former director of the Nuclear and Radioactive Waste Agency, Romania had 26 kg of plutonium from the Măgurele reactor in the 1980s. This was enough to manufacture six nuclear bombs using about 4 kg for each."
Problem is they cost a shitload and there are missing parts and precision instruments that are made only in like 10 countries.
Today, a capitalist first world country, can probably shit out a nuke in 6 months with 5 billion dollars in expenditure.
But then you´re painting a target on your back and you have to be part of the "big boy" club forever, and that costs money.
Nukes are a white elephant and a burden.
Having 80% assembled nukes is the best course of action.
