#1 Given the problems this plant must have (some parts were installed in the 80s and were obsolete when installed, thousands of design changes some of which were probably not documented well), if I were a Russian operator of Bushehr, I would be looking for excuses as to why it isn't running the way it was advertised.

#2 If I were a Russian operator of Beshehr, I'd be looking for a way to get to the Caymans with my loot before my used up my last excuse ...

#5 The neat thing about Stuxnet is that it is the gift that keeps on giving. Their computers might be free of it, but they don't know that for sure, unless they manage to reverse engineer their computers operating system.

That is funny!

The Russians sold the Iranians Bushehr for cash up front in installments. Not that they did not trust the MMs....

#8 Wouldn't be any surprise if the Ruskies took Iranian money knowing full well that the plant would never work...wouldn't be a surprise if they knowingly installed Stuxnet themselves. As long as they get the money and the Juice get the blame, what do they care?

Why go looking for it when they could make one up themselves for a lot less money than they paid for the technology. They could call it Stuxnetski.
