Peaceful nuclear program = nuclear bomb program.

It doesn’t have to, but that’s the way the smart money bets:

The problem is that past experience in the region shows that this technology inevitably gets militarized. We know that previous "civilian" nuclear programs in Iraq, Israel, Egypt, Iran, Algeria and Libya all served as covers for suspect nuclear activities. There is no reliable way to detect covert nuclear fuel-making once a country has a full-fledged "civilian" program. Even without a secret program, the normal fuel produced in civilian nuclear power plants could be used to produce scores of crude nuclear bombs a year. The popular notion, therefore, that inspectors could reliably detect possible military diversions early enough to prevent proliferation is hope ignoring reality.

Note the highlighted language — “no reliable way to detect.”

As usual, the French are falling all over themselves to grovel at the feet of the Middle Eastern regimes. As per source.
