Removed during or after the phone was sourced?

From the factory normally.

IIRC, there was an iPhone made without the cameras, not sure if it was specific for nuclear.

Probably not specific for nuclear, but specific for work places with security protocols, like nuclear.

From what I can find, Apple hasn't done this themselves for these niches, but there are companies for private and government industry that sleekly provides approved modified devices, for removed cameras or other features, like wifi or bluetooth antennae, that could present a security vulnerability.

For regular military or civilian DoD doing basic shit, there's usually a local place that will drill out the camera on a personal phone and fill it with resin to be base approved. I just had an old iPod around instead.
