The map I found says there's still a couple operating reactors.

They are not operating anymore. Last 3 were shutdown last(?) year. They are now being dismantled. Though, there is research done, but mainly fusion, and some Fusion-reactors. Doesn't help with weapons, but might be your map is not specific enough about this?

Sweden had nuclear weapons program and was only six months away from completing a working bomb in 1965. Program was abandoned in 1966.

Sweden was far closer than that and only gave up its plutonium in 1990.
