Not really. Countries able to reprocess spent fuel generally have a large stock of weapons-grade plutonium from disarmament and warhead upgrades. For a non-nuclear-weapon nation, there are simpler and cheaper ways of producing higher-quality plutonium than building a fleet of PWR power stations and a reprocessing plant. The real problem with reprocessing is that it is not very profitable if the cost of disposing of the waste is low.
