It's well beyond the point of not sharing. Yes, getting the expertise needed to make nuclear reastors or weapons is a huge accelerant to any program, but even if you don't have access to people or organizations that have already been there, there is always the library. The technology to make nuclear material is very simple, on paper, and is well documented publicly. It's just refining the process to get it right is what takes the time. So withholding the info just slows down a determined party. With enough money and resources and being left alone long enough
, even an individual has the ability to start their own nuc program.
