Abstract:Focus on South Africa's position regarding the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), an issue pushed into prominence by the Russian allegation in August 1977 that the Republic was on the verge of testing a nuclear device. Subsequent reaction, especially from the United States, shows that the Carter administration will use continued nuclear cooperation with the Republic as a lever to press for political change and to secure South Africa's adherence to the NPT. South Africa's position on the NPT and on nuclear power, in particular in the light of its peculiar politico-economic and military-strategic position, is set out. Notes, abstract.
