On Sept 28 Russia marks the Day of Nuclear Worker. This professional holiday was instituted by the President four years ago. Sept 27 2009 the holiday was marked all over the industry with festivities, concerts, sports events, meetings of young workers with veterans of the industry.

A number of Russian pop stars decided to congratulate the nuclear industry in an original manner: they paid visits to nuclear companies so as to personally greet nuclear workers on their professional holiday.
