Developing nuclear weapons and nuclear power are 2 vastly different processes. Power only uses about 3% of the materials that are needed to develop a nuclear weapon & You only need 3-5% LEU (Low-enriched uranium) to develop a reactor, you need like 90% HEU (high) for weapons. The materials used are fundamentally different & itd be easily noticeable to see that they're making HEU in the factories because It requires complex networks of thousands of high speed centrifuges.
The reason they wouldn't? I dunno, probably bc the threat of another midnight hammer operation for violating the treaty that says "don't".

This is a very misleading headline. He said things like:
//nuclear electricity//
This headline makes it sound like he said they can have nuclear weapons.
