Yep. I'd be surprised if their QA environment didn't contain at least one uranium centrifuge.

  You'd be insane to develop something of the complexity of Stuxnet and not include a full end to end test in the QA process. It would be incredibly embarrassing for this to fail.

    Indeed. But as engineers it’s insane to think of having a testing environment that includes a uranium enrichment plant

      Fair point. I can barely get access to a testing environment that contains a keycloak server.

  You don't really need the centrifuge, just the inverter. I was working in industrial control and automation at the time, there were sweeping changes to what could and could not be done and by whom at every level. Old drives of all manufacturers that sat unused were audited and had to be brought up-to-date before any sale or change of hands could occur, serials were noted etc etc. Never felt like a manufacturer decision since it occurred in unison almost globally.

    >You don't really need ... I think that project was way beyond the "really need" stage.

      granted, I don't know that it would give you any extra information though.
