Superhero

@ The presence of a nuclear power plant in the city is not only a job for 4,500 nuclear power specialists and energy for thousands of plants and tens of thousands of cities. If you believe American comics and blockbusters, then the neighborhood with the largest nuclear power plant in the world is the possibility that in the city there is no-no and will appear another superhero. There are many examples of this, but the brightest of them is the legendary native of Balakovo, Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev (although the peaceful atom in this case is likely nothing to do with.)
