The fundamental challenge of nuclear nonproliferation is embodied in a basic tension that exists among those responsibilities: the equipment, facilities, materials, and expertise required to build and operate a nuclear power plant may also form the basis of a nuclear weapons program. The dilemma posed by centrifuge technology is an example of this tension.
From page 6...
... . In exchange, the NNWS, which comprised the balance of the treaty signatories, pledged not to obtain or develop nuclear weapons, and to accept the application of international safeguards to their nuclear programs to verify their compliance with the treaty.4 The International Atomic Energy Agency was established in 1957 to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to ensure as far as possible that any nuclear energy programs with which it was associated were managed safely and used only for peaceful purposes.
From page 7...
