I know it isnt great but it can be done by using larger amounts. Imo Dirty Bombs would be a bigger deterrent.
I'm pretty sure I am correct about the stockpiles. I know the amount fluctuates but we would have more than enough. Plus we have Plutonium from the reactors.
Fuel grade uranium is 3-5%, and we produce about 8,000 Tu annually. Our plutonium is contained inside the spent CANDU fuel so it's not really usable. It would be far easier to source nuclear weapons from the UK and France.

Second, we don't enrich uranium, so if we wanted to build something smaller, which is better for deploymen, we'd have to start
