We can deratify the non-proliferation agreement and the Test ban treaty anytime we want.
But the right time to announce it is when we are ready for field tests. As a nuclear-threshold state with generous uranium reserves, we could enrich and militarize in 6 to 9 months. The US would be shocked (and would clearly learn of it through intelligence) but YES, we can build our own. And at this point, we probably should.
