Personally, I think the solution would be to allow them to build nuclear reactors, but under the condition that, should any of the material be found to be used for other purposes, or should there be ANY attempt to conceal its nuclear program, the plants will be immediately destroyed.
It is possible to have nuclear power plants that can't be used to create nuclear weapons. Iran refuses to go that route, so despite what they say their intentions are obvious.
