Wild Russia: The Secret Forest
The Ussuriland wilderness extends from the deep Sikhote Alin forests to the fast-flowing Amur River. Slipping through the shadows of the Ussuriland forests are two of the world's rarest cats. With only 30 remaining in the wild - all in this far eastern region of Russia - the Amur leopard is the most critically endangered big cat. While Asiatic black bears hang from the trees and chipmunks search for food, the spotted sika deer travel to the coast to supplement their diet with kelp. The presence of deer on this open ground attracts the region's big predator, the Amur tiger. But the largest cat in the world has dangerous enemies itself: poaching and habitat destruction are an ever present threat to tigers in this region. Thankfully, the Lake Khanka wetlands have been recovering from pollution, and it continues to provide a home to herons, as well as Chinese soft-shelled turtles. Diversity does not stop at the surface and a plethora of animals live underwater, surviving with camouflage.

Blowdown: Nuclear Explosion
A family demolition team from Phoenix, Maryland descends on site of the Sellafield Nuclear plant to take down four outdated nuclear cooling towers. The demolition team plans on making history by being the first to successfully use explosives on an active nuclear site in the United Kingdom. The team has ten days to load and rig 4400 dynamite charges in the towers, one of which is only 40m away from a nuclear fuel processing plant. The team is set to make history, but are worried about the fallout.
