If it's disconnected from the internet, how is it going to get any new data? If there's a way for it to get new data, then, well... isn't that exactly how Stuxnet happened?
An intermediary system. Sure, there will be internet access at the Utah facility, but the networks will be separated. Stuxnet was physically delivered on a USB drive. Stuxnet didn't have the requirement of sending back massive amounts of data (or any really).
Having said that, I guess it just comes back to the fact that the intermediary is the real target then. So we hope the NSA has had it's crack team in there. Which means that we hope that it's disconnected etc. as well... I mean, at some point there needs to a source that is connected to the internet and I guess that source is the real target.

That's a good point.
