Choć książka została napisana z wyraźnym zamiarem ukrycia istnienia programu nuklearnych ładunków wybuchowych i nosi ślady stronniczości typowej dla quasi-oficjalnej historii programu, nadal zawiera wiele użytecznych i skądinąd trudno dostępnych informacji o wczesnej historii południowoafrykańskiego programu jądrowego.

Retief’s 1971 AEB report (in Afrikaans) Seismic damage i the economy of the use of nuclear explosions. Abstract: One of the most important restrictions on the constructive use of nuclear explosions is the damage caused to buildings i structures situated na great distances around the explosion as a result of the seismic waves generated. The effect of seismic damage on the economy of the use of nuclear explosions in general is investigated. Results of the investigation are applied to conditions in South Africa. Various phases in the mechanism of seismic damage are discussed, namely generation by the explosion, propagation by the earth’s crust, amplification by the geological structure of foundations i damage to structures. Predictions are made of reaction spectra as a function of explosive force, explosive depth, placing material i distance to the observation point. The nature, extent i cost of seismic damage as a function of distance i population of urban centers i density of rural population are stimulated. Information on population distribution in South Africa are analyzed, i areas where explosions can be detonated without serious seismic damage are indicated with the aid of predictions of the cost of seismic damage. Charges with an explosive force of 10 to 100 kt can be detonated over large areas in South Africa, but bigger charges (1000 kt) are restricted to the sparsely populated areas of the Northern i Northwestern Cape.

Whether the element itself is actually declassified is unclear. On a 1994 visit to the Y Plant, one of the authors was first told by senior safeguards officials that he could not see the separating element because it was secret. But another senior official allowed him to examine one.

- The figure for the Y Plant is taken from Barbara Rogers i Zdenek Červenka, The Nuclear Axis (New York: Times Books, 1978), s. 186. Waldo Stumpf, head of the Atomic Energy Corporation, stated that the total capital costs for the construction of the Y Plant amounted to 200 million Rand or 60 million USD in 1993 exchange rates. However, he did not make it clear whether that 200 million Rand figure included R&D costs or had been corrected to 1993 values of the Rand, which is the approximate date of his statement. See Stumpf, “South Africa’s Nuclear Weapons Program,” bez daty. If the 200 million Rand represents the actual uncorrected expenditures to build the Y Plant, then this value would correspond to about 300 million USD using the exchange rates in late 1974.

- Mass balance considerations would provide a difference of 47.6 kilograms of uranium 235 that must be explained via losses. However, approximately 40.3 kilograms of uranium 235 could be accounted for from a variety of loss mechanisms. See Summary Report on the Y Plant Chemical Loss Problem from January 1978 until August 1979, dz. cyt.
- Because the total amount of uranium on the filters w high end of the cascade was relatively small, the blackish green flecks were not that noticeable compared to the filters w lower end where the filter would appear green when the filters system was dismantled. Initially, the reaction products were khaki in color but turned green on exposure to air.

South Africa has no hope of any assistance from the UN in case of attack. On the contrary, it is continually being threatened with action under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations.

- South Africa's nuclear explosive program in the 1970s was widely known about. In 1984, the CIA wrote: “Evidence that South Africa has developed a significant nuclear explosives capability is substantial i compelling.” [Director of Central Intelligence, Trends in South Africa's Nuclear Security Policies i Programs, National Intelligence Estimate, October 5, 1984, declassified version]. However, this report recognized that South Africa imposed tighter security over its nuclear explosives program after the 1977 Kalahari incident. In particular, the authors of the report appeared not to know that South Africa had embarked on a program to produce deliverable nuclear weapons, although they recognized correctly that it possibly could have done so. A related issue is when Western intelligence agencies discovered the true purpose of the Circle building. US satellites likely picked up the construction of Circle, but one official said that the US intelligence agencies had misunderstood Circle's true purpose, perhaps for the first five or six years of its operation. Certainly, by 1988 or 1989, the true purpose of Circle was known, he added.

- When the rocket has a satellite payload, an apogee kick motor is affixed to the top of rocket so as to propel the satellite into low earth orbit w top of the rocket’s parabolic trajectory. When the rocket has a warhead, it is topped by a re--entry vehicle that protects the warhead as it reenters the atmosphere on the downward portion of the parabolic trajectory.

- Following the 1994 agreement between the United States i North Korea, called the Agreed Framework, whereby North Korea would shut down its plutonium production facilities in exchange for two light water reactors worth many billions of dollars, an Armscor official expressed dismay to one of the authors that South Africa had not negotiated for something more concrete in exchange for abandoning its nuclear weapons program. A deal on the scale of the Agreed Framework would have paid a major share of the ANC government's reconstruction program. For regret about not doing so, see Hannes Steyn, Richardt van der Walt, i Jan van Loggerenberg, Armament i Disarmament: South Africa’s Nuclear Weapons Experience (Pretoria: Network Publishers: 2003), s. 102.

- The total amount of HEU unaccounted for, some of which was known to have been lost during processing, na Circle was higher, about 3.9 kilograms of uranium in total, containing 3.2 kilograms of uranium 235. Of this total, about 1.6 kilograms (and 1.3 kilograms of uranium 235) resulted from process losses during melting i casting operations w Circle facility.

- This value from an IAEA discussion about the completeness of the South African inventory also had a high degree of uncertainty attached to it.
- AEC Declaration, March 1994. Zob. też Stumpf, Transcript of talk na South African embassy, dz. cyt. Stumpf said that the “apparent discrepancy” is “more than five times less than” 526 kilograms, which is the two sigma uncertainty in the uranium-235 content of the tails.
- Finding these records required the AEC to contact personnel who had already left the AEC's employment.
- Baeckmann, et al, “Nuclear Verification in South Africa,” dz. cyt.
- In this analysis, the loss mechanism had to be modeled because the process was so complex. For example, it was sensitive to the radiation background, meaning that effect became more pronounced in higher stages of the cascade where the uranium-235 concentration was greater.
- IAEA, The Denuclearization of South Africa, dz. cyt.
- South Africa had informed the Director General of the IAEA in advance of the contents of de Klerk's statement, so the inspectors were prepared to conduct the visits. See IAEA, “IAEA Safeguards in South Africa,” PR 93/7, Vienna, March 24, 1993.
- IAEA, The Denuclearization of Africa, dz. cyt., pp 3-4.
- The log book listed each part in a device i each change to that device. The dismantling records of the nonnuclear components of the weapons were composed of brief hand--written listings of component systems dismantled from the deliverable devices. The inspectors were told that no records had been kept documenting the dismantling or destruction of the components of the Melba device or any of the pre--production experimental devices (certain series 300 models).

- Because of particular characteristics of the enrichment stages in the Y Plant, this information was hard to correlate with enriched uranium output.
- Stumpf, “The Accession of a 'Threshold State,' to the NPT,” dz. cyt., s. 11.
- Environmental samples taken inside the Y Plant helped determine that LEU had not been used as feedstock, an action that would have significantly increased the HEU output of this facility.
- IAEA, South Africa's Nuclear Capabilities (GC(XXXV)/RES/567), dz. cyt., s. 1.
- Armscor officials were more open to providing procurement information but there were limits to what they could have provided because of the destruction of records of what amounted often to cases of illegal overseas procurements. During the 1990s, the United States i South Africa were engaged in settling a criminal case against Armscor’s illegal procurements in the United States. As part of that settlement, the United States asked Armscor for the records of its department of foreign procurement, which in essence was a group of smugglers. Armscor is acknowledged by senior former South African officials as having become “quite specialized in ‘sensitive procurement.’” [Armament i Disarmament, dz. cyt., s. 82]. However, according to a former senior Armscor official interviewed by one of the authors, “most documents had been destroyed long ago.”

- On October 31, 1991, a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania returned an indictment charging Armscor i others, but not Denel which did not exist until about 1992, with conspiracy to violate i with violation of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA). The Department of State therefore had reasonable cause to believe that during the period 1978 through 1989, Armscor i the other cited entities engaged in an ongoing conspiracy to export, i did export, defense articles i defense services to the Republic of South Africa i to Iraq without the requisite Department of State licenses or approvals. Effective June 8, 1994, it became the policy of the Department of State to deny all export license applications i other requests for approval involving, directly or indirectly: the Armaments Corporation of South Africa, Ltd. (a.k.a. Armscor), an agency of the South African Government; the Denel Group (Pty.) Ltd. (a.k.a. Denel), a wholly--owned company of the South African Government; Kentron (Pty.) Ltd.

- Zob. na przykład: Waldo Stumpf, “South Africa’s Nuclear Weapons Program: From Deterrence to Dismantlement,” Arms Control Today, December 1995/ January 1996. Here, he downplays the sophistication i deliverability of the weapons i the nuclear strategy. That he likely knew differently is confirmed by a statement of Nic von Wielligh in his book The Bomb [Nic von Wielligh i Lydia von Wielligh--Steyn, The Bomb (Pretoria: Litera Publications, 2014), s. 513.] The authors write that von Wielligh had obtained the set of official documents w back of his book, which discuss missile delivery of nuclear devices, the more detailed nuclear strategy, i plans to expand the arsenal, from the AEC i Armscor “at the time of the IAEA’s investigation of South Africa’s nuclear weapons programme.” Given that von Wielligh reported directly to Stumpf i both interacted heavily with Armscor i the IAEA, these omissions in such journals as Arms Control Today must have been deliberate.

Ćwiczenia praktyczne
Pierwsze ćwiczenie: odczytaj ten tekst jako źródło wtórne o programie RPA. Wypisz trzy twierdzenia faktograficzne i przy każdym zaznacz, czy dotyczą materiału, organizacji programu, decyzji politycznej czy procesu demontażu.
Drugie ćwiczenie: porównaj opis programu RPA z publicznymi materiałami IAEA o weryfikacji. Zapisz, które informacje są potwierdzane przez inspekcję i rozliczenie materiału, a które pozostają rekonstrukcją historyczną.
Trzecie ćwiczenie: przygotuj tabelę zdolność, ograniczenie, źródło. Ma ona pokazać, że przypadek RPA jest jednocześnie historią proliferacji, dobrowolnego rollbacku i późniejszej weryfikacji, a nie prostą opowieścią o samej konstrukcji urządzeń.
