I definitely liked these episodes. They really stood out to me as one of the peaks of the situation with Chernobyl, with Russia saying “look this power core isn’t a big deal, it’s only 2K roentgen (what one officer referred to a sthe propaganda number)” when in actuality the radiation was way above that.

However, one thing that really stood out to me was when the animal control people were trying to kill all of the radioactive animals, and the new person didn’t want to kill any pets at first because he thought it was wrong, but eventually got used to doing it so much that he eventually numbed himself to it. Numbing oneself to such grueling and emotioning taxing challenges in that way is quite astonishing. I would not be able to get a hold of myself after killing an animal, much less a pet that someone used to own and love.
