well a centrifuge is a machine that is supposed to spin extremely extremely fast. in order to spin something extremely fast, it needs to be well balanced. if a machine (centrifuge or not) gets jostled, like by say a giant bomb strike happening a few tens of meters away, then internal components could be vibrated out of alignment or pressure waves could stress the system in weird ways (different materials deform under stress different amounts, which can affect tolerances). Those kinds of effects could happen even to a visibly fine piece of equipment.
none of this is a guarantee that this kind of damage has happened, but certainly iran would be wise to test all these machines to see if things are fucked before just spinning them up at full blast.
a kinda silly example of this is an unbalanced top loaded washing machine - even though the washer looks fine, if you put all the clothes on one side it'll make a lot of crazy noises when you start it up.
I didn't consider the impact of vibrations on centrifuges but this tracks. I used to work with much smaller centrifuges for much less dramatic purposes and if they got unbalanced it was a real problem. Unbalanced, they would start rattling like fuck and you'd have to turn it off before it hit full speed or you'd risk spills.
I wonder if any of the centrifuges were hardened against explosives with shock dampeners. I know the americans did that with the titan missile silos - they built the control/crew system module with a big vibration control dampener to prevent missile launch/earthquake/missile strike from fucking up the silo.

the newsmega can have a little 'is zohran mao or obama' struggle session as a treat (such as in this subthread) but this is the world newsmega, not the electoralism-mega and so please limit zohran posting to a dull roar. things like zohran struggle sessions are literally exactly what c/electoralism was made for, not the news mega.
along the same lines, zionists and fascists are having a shitfit about zohran and yes it is funny, but let's try to keep the newsmega to only the dankest of memes and the saltiest of zionist tears. we don't need to hear about every DC think tankie pondering the orb with bill ackman.
