Sure, but those were Gen 1 reactors. We're overwhelmingly using (pressurized water) Gen 2 reactors these days, which, while being downstream of the same processing as the one required for nuclear weapons, and also theoretically capable to be used to make nuclear weapons themselves, are definitely NOT better suited for weapons first !
