I can only get around the paywall on my phone but this is a great story in the WSJ about the 200 technicians at Chernobyl who are being forced at gunpoint to keep everything running.
None have been allowed to leave since the Russians took control nearly 3 weeks ago. Once in a while they are allowed a 1 minute phone call to their families (all phones were confiscated early on) and there's one daily team call to a supervisory office. They're allowed to get in a little sleep when they can but otherwise, they have been on the job for nearly 500 hours straight.
