    Radioactive Zombies

    In South Dakota, the survivors arrives at a warehouse in a nuclear plant and they are warned by a man called Wilbur Grady and his daughter Amelia that the glowing zombies are radioactive and they should neither have physical contact with them nor let their blood splatter on them. Soon they learn that the reactor core will meltdown destroying everything within five hundred kilometers radius. The group decides to team-up with Wilbur and Amelia to fix the reactor, but Wilbur fails and subsequently dies. Now their only chance is to convince the engineer Homer Stubbins, who became a hermit after the loss of his son, to help them to fix the reactor. Will they succeed in their intent?

    "Going Nuclear" is a funny and entertaining episode of "Z Nation". The glowing radioactive zombies are hilarious and the bond between Homer and 10K is a good moment of the show. The name Homer is probably a joke with Homer Simpson, who worked at a nuclear plant. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Going Nuclear"

    BS. at it's finest

    OK, So if you're gonna be specific about where they are located, such as saying that they are in the Black Hills of South Dakota, or Edgemont, SD at least don't lie about what is there. Mount Rushmore is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota but it's not near Edgemont, it's in Keystone! And a Nuclear Plant, PLEASE!! Maybe some Gold Mines but a Nuclear Plant. If you had any viewers from the Great State of South Dakota, you may have just lost them. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!

    Poor acting. Dumb plot.

    There is no reason for this episode to be rated so high. It is only slightly better than episode 9. It lead me to stop watching the show when it originally aired.

      The man they bring in to begin the shutdown at the nuclear power plant is named "Homer," a possible nod to Homer Simpson, who works at the Springfield Plant in The Simpsons (1989).
    • Goofs
      While at the gate of the nuclear facility, 10k fires his M110 sniper rifle but the dust cover is not open when shown immediately after the shot.
