Seems to me like any nuclear facility can masquerade as a power plant or weapons plant. They can do both. The byproduct of nuclear power plants is stuff like depleted uranium which is used in ammunition.

Most depleted uranium arises as a by-product of the production of enriched uranium for use as fuel in nuclear reactors and in the manufacture of nuclear weapons.

Think about the implications...

Your enemy has a nuclear power plant. You want to destroy it. That will cut off power to thousands of civilians. What do you do? Convince your nation in the media that it's a nuclear weapons plant. (Similar to Iran and the Stuxnet virus that destroyed their facility)

Or consider the situation in reverse. You have a nuclear weapons plant at the border of Russia. You claim its a power plant.

Pretty convenient to have this kind of advanced facility that "maybe kills people" or "maybe keeps people alive". And with this gray area, a sheepish public is easy to manipulate in regards to environmental protection, nuclear waste, war, etc. The Schrodinger's cat of facilities.
