Poor writing style, lack of understanding of units (equating emitted and absorbed, comparing total dose with dose per unit of time, etc)

The accident is pretty interesting and you can find some good articles, much better written.

Probably. I read it first in Spanish from the BBC https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-54429012 and also found the one that someone quoted here from the New York Times.
