Yes. South Africa became a nuclear power on September 22, 1977. This was confirmed by the Vela program, a U.S. spy satellite, and the Russian equivalent, on that day. South Africa denies such capability, and the official U.S. and Russian position has been not to challenge South Africa's Claims.
In South Africa, the regulation of nuclear plants is governed primarily by the Nuclear Energy Act of 1999 and the National Nuclear Regulator Act of 1999. The Nuclear Energy Act establishes the framework for the development, use, and management of nuclear energy, while the National Nuclear Regulator Act provides for the establishment of a regulatory body to ensure the safety and security of nuclear installations. Additionally, South Africa is a signatory to various international treaties, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which influences its nuclear policy and regulations. Compliance with safety standards, environmental considerations, and emergency preparedness are central components of South African nuclear law.
