There was the Darlington nuclear plant upgrades recently, which were completed ahead of schedule. Borealis was announced last year indicating new military research development. France had a nuclear sub in one of our ports, they already have nukes. I’m pretty sure they are going for them in secret and may already have one.
Any reactor can keep reacting uranium until it becomes plutonium. The weapons are plutonium.
We signed treaties that prevent reacting uranium plutonium to high levels. CANDU reactors certainly produce plutonium, and can produce very pure plutonium.
Good advice on learning how things work.
Here’s a white paper.

OOOOOOOOOOOH FUCKING GET SERVEDDDD (information)
