That has been stated many times.

says:

"The PDP-11 is definitely still in use today, thanks to its unique and 
strong build. It is still used to power a GE nuclear power-plant robotic 
application — and will do so until 2050.

Technically, due to its potency, it is still used by the US Navy in its 
ship radar systems and by Airbus SAS. There are also rumors that it is 
part of the set up in the British Atomic Weapons Establishment."
