I'm sure you're correct but I don't think Saddam's crew would bury every centrifuge he had in one hole. They would have spread the assets around so they all couldn't be found at once.

They are showing a bunch. You don't need that many to get to reactor grade U and then reprocess for weapons grade PU.

In the early 90's when the "weapons inspectors" were active before Saddam sent them packing, hundreds of centrifuges were found in several locations. I recall a number something like 600....anyone out there got better recall?
