Japan can build a bomb in 7 days notice.
A few years ago I spoke to an Arab friend who was a university lecturer in London in a science related discipline.
He explained to me that atom bomb technology is almost verging on primitive now, as it was created 60 years ago.
He also said (with no disrespect to Pakistan) "If a third world country like Pakistan can build it, do you think rich western nations can't?" e.g. Sweden etc.
You mentioned Japan, he said "Norway can build it in 2 days" (which I think he meant semi-figuratively).
Technology progresses rapidly.
This was a computer back in the 50s.
This computer (Iphone) is far more powerful than that 1950s technology.
The atom bomb is 1930s/40s technology.
Loads of states in the world could produce it but chose not to e.g. Brazil, Japan, Sweden, Norway, South Africa etc.
