Duh! Libya actually agreed to peacefully dismantle their nuclear program, before Gaddafi fell (like several years earlier). The US, France and Russia have always offered nuclear energy to non-proliferation treaty signatories - that's part of the deal with the international inspections and everything. In fact, the only reason Iran has nuclear energy is because they signed a non-proliferation treaty, and Russia I believe built their reactors and supplied fuel. So offering to build a reactor for Libya would have been a very normal aspect of peaceful use of atomic energy, at least in terms of the existence of the IAEA.
