what stops countries from secretly developing nuclear weapons?

What I mean is that nuclear technology is more than 60 years old now, and I guess there is a pretty good understanding of how to build nuclear weapons, and how to make ballistic missiles. So what exactly stops countries from secretly developing them in remote facilities?

The best way to develop nuclear weapons in secret is to have nuclear reactors and a very public nuclear waste recycling program.

If you don’t have a public nuclear waste recycling program and nuclear reactors it will be very obvious to any intelligence agency that you are developing nuclear weapons.

The only country that could pull it off is Japan, the others with nuclear waste recycling already have nuclear weapons.
