Bukro spent two years inside the Zion nuclear plant, interviewing employees, witnessing high-risk maintenance procedures, and watching the radiation exposure counter on his own dosimeter tick up and up.

In The Hard Hat Truth, builder, estimator, and consultant Mark Zitting cuts through the noise and names the real culprits: Owners hooked on “low bid” who pay for it later.
