Casey Bukro, the Chicago Tribune's first environment reporter, became the "nuclear reporter" while covering the Zion Nuclear Power Station from the inside for 28 months, a rare opportunity. The book covers a 123-year history beginning with the creation of the City of Zion, Illinois, as a "holy city," where religion was the main industry. That changed when the town became the home of the nuclear power station. The Atomic Age began in Chicago in 1942 with the first controlled nuclear chain reaction at the University of Chicago as part of the Manhattan Project to create the Atomic Bomb. It also led to nuclear electric power generating stations like the Zion Station. As a Tribune reporter, Bukro's beat branched into energy, climate change and natural resources as the beat grew in global importance. A leader in journalism ethics, Bukro wrote the Code of Ethics adopted in 1973 by the Society of Professional Journalists, and he was awarded the Wells Memorial Key, the society's highest honor conferred on a member for distinguished service to the society. Bukro writes a blog on journalism ethics, ethicsadvicelineforjournalists.org, and manages a group of ethics experts who give free advice to professional journalists who ask for ethics guidance, at 866-DILEMMA. Bukro lives in Evanston, Illinois.
