There's an old saying by the health and safety folks in the US: "Safety rules are written in blood" I know nothing of such measures in a nuke facility but it seems they could be firewalled from the rest of the web. Forcing a hacker to actually enter the facility would at least help.

You know, there should be no connection between the network that runs any nuclear facility and the world wide web. That should be, like, a no brainer but obviously some very stupid people built the network.
