But if you are going to try to stop proliferation and try to reduce the nukes in the former Soviet Union etc... Isn't it hypocritical to start new nuclear programs here in the US?

No, he was a true believer and gave it away without remuneration. Building nukes may be a logistical nightmare, especially if you want to do it secretly, but is not technically challenging. It is a well proven 60 year old technology. Any industrial conglomerate from GE to Matsushita has all the technology they need on the shelve. Trying to prevent the proliferation of technical knowledge about making nukes is pointless: it is already out there. It is being taught in any undergraduate nuclear technology class.
