And it's not hard to see why that would be unacceptable to the U.S. "The amount of enrichment capacity you need to feed a nuclear reactor for energy purposes is actually far greater than what you need to make one bomb's worth of nuclear material a year," explains Ivan Oelrich, Vice President for Strategic Security Programs at the Federation of American Scientists.
