Publish absolutely every government document. There should be no such thing as a secret government document ever. If you don't want it known, don't collect it. Don't generate it.
The production details for nuclear weapons are on a government document.
And if all records had to be public, there would have been a hell of a lot lower chance of nuclear weapons being invented. Because who would want to give that weapon to everybody else as well as themselves?
But do you want that document published now in the world we live in today?
Yes, I think so. I think absolutely everybody capable of having one, having one, should cause nobody to want to invade anybody else, etc. Because of the threat that such an action poses, and if humanity is dumb enough to wipe themselves out with nuclear weapons, then we weren't meant to be around anyway.
And? For the average country, the difficult thing about nuclear weapons is not how to build one (pipe with two halves and a bit explosives is enough for a few kt) but to get enough Plutonium. You know, the whole thing with Israel running secret facilities with ceramic centrifuges for years. What US and China are wasting a few MW computer center each year on, is getting a bit more out of it than the competition, especially fusion weapons. Seen rationally, it's a childish "i have the bigger ~~dick~~ boom".

Of course, he's right. He doesn't have to.
