The challenge presented by the relationship between generating nuclear energy and developing nuclear weapons is that the same technology and materials can be used for both purposes. Countries with civilian nuclear programs can potentially divert their enriched uranium for military purposes, increasing the risk of nuclear proliferation. Additionally, the presence of dual-use technology makes it difficult to distinguish between peaceful and military intentions of a country's nuclear program. This increases the complexity of nonproliferation efforts as it requires close monitoring and verification to ensure that nuclear materials are not being misused.

The problem is that the same stuff used to make nuclear energy can also be used to make nuclear weapons. This makes it hard to tell if a country is using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes or to build bombs. Governments need to closely watch and check on countries with nuclear programs to make sure they are not making weapons instead of just using nuclear energy. This makes it harder to stop the spread of nuclear weapons.
