I'm staying out of the political part of this thread, so I won't go much farther. But if you think a country would start a civilian nuclear power program, and not get into weapons, you're clinically insane. If that was the case however, a country would simply buy its fuel for a much lower price, as many countries have offered to do, rather than enriching their own. Even the U.S. purchases old nuclear weapons from Russia to fuel our own reactors...
"The following countries are known to operate enrichment facilities: Argentina, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Belgium, Iran, Italy and Spain hold an investment interest in the French Eurodif enrichment plant, with Iran's holding entitling it to 10% of the enriched uranium output. Countries that had enrichment programs in the past include Libya and South Africa, although Libya's facility was never operational. Australia has announced its intention to pursue commercial enrichment, and is actively researching laser enrichment."
I must be clinically insane.
