Not really, no. The differences in concentration of fissile material are significant... like years significant... like you need totally different levels and scales of nuclear enrichment that is going to be visible by satellite. Like you are not going from power plant to nuclear bomb in less than a decade, and there's going to be some really easy to notice nuclear blast testing going on during those final years.
provided someone got you up to speed on civil nuclear tech, but would not share any info at all beyond that.
It's like saying if I sell you a lawnmower, you have the potential to build a Formula 1 car. I guess you're a little closer than you were, but it's not like a slippery slope.
