Once they have a reactor they have the ability to produce plutonium for bombs. A typical 1GW light water reactor produces about 200kg of plutonium/year as about 1% of the spent fuel. IF political circumstances change and a "peaceful use" nuclear nation decides it wants to withdraw from the nonproliferation treaty, there isn't a way short of force to stop them or to remove their ability to process their spent fuel to recover the plutonium.
Renewable technologies CAN meet world energy needs.
