Nope, this isn't true. First of all there are many different kinds of nuclear reactors, and only certain ones can be used for making weapons-grade material. Second, the isotope separation process for U238 or the implosion mechanism for plutonium are either massive or crazy difficult to pull off, and totally unrelated to reactor design.
A reactor design doesn't get you anywhere meaningfully closer to building a bomb.
