Unconfirmed report that the building was not being just used for centrifuge assembly but was primarily for storage of UF6.
..........
They have been refining uranium ore, yellowcake for several years into UF6 to be further separated into U235 weapons grade.
..........
The blast destroyed about 80% of their stockpile of UF6. The blast would have contaminated the entire area with highly toxic and corrosive UF6. Any centrifuges in the building would now be useless.

good

how the heck do they do these things?

I read that The Great One had sanctioned explosive devices being put on USSR oil pipelines throughout those years and it made life difficult for folks there.

I guess there are enough people that can be bought

Unfortunately it goes both ways.

UF6 (uranium hexafloride) is VERY toxic
