That's not true. Once you have the expertise and infrastructure to handle nuclear fuel and waste you can also relatively easily reprocess the fuel to create weapon-grade material. It's certainly much harder if you start with solar panels and wind turbines! :)
Likewise if you have the facilities needed to create nuclear weapons, it makes sense to make some money on the side making electricity as well.
