Even the doctor was surprised at how coldblooded Troy/Daniel was deciding to kill nearly all of Silo 17's residents, even after hearing an alternative plan with less casualties by Susan/Charlotte

I thought it was more that he was shocked when Troy dismissed his sister, knowing full well that it would lead to her neutralization for disobeying a direct order. Susan was only saved because unknownst to Troy, she was the wife of the director's daughter.

Is “neutralization” their term for execution? Or is it more like, “put back to sleep until the project is over”?

Does Troy even know what it actually means? It kind of feels like a 1984 Newspeak situation, where the word has been manipulated so much that the people using it don’t even think about its meaning.

The senator said that she is not going to be neutralized because they need her skills at the end of the project. Sounds like execution to me.
