To combat proliferation reactor designs aren’t the issue, you need to control the source of the fuel and it’s entire lifecycle. Building nuclear weapons isn’t hard, but it’s a project that requires a huge investment in infrastructure so proliferation has always been a question of will and consequences not capability.
