CNS - South Africa's Nuclear Weapons Program: An Annotated Chronology, 1969-1994
Quote:
September 1989
At a meeting of his senior political aides and advisors, President F.W. de Klerk declares that in order to end South Africa's isolation from the international community, both the political system of apartheid and the nuclear weapons program must be dismantled.[43]
November 1989
An "Experts Committee" formed by de Klerk and composed of senior AEC, Armscor, and South African Defense Force (SADF) officials formally recommends the dismantlement of South Africa's nuclear weapons, and outlines dismantlement procedures. De Klerk and the South African cabinet approve the plan.[44] The Y-plant stops producing HEU.[45]
