Seversk (Russian: Се́верск SYEH-veersk) is a city that lies to the north of Tomsk, Siberia. Seversk was once known as "Tomsk-7", a secret closed city of the Soviet Union. Tomsk-7 was off-limits to non-residents and only became known after the fall of the iron curtain, and remains closed to outsiders to this day. Its main purpose was the production of plutonium and highly enriched uranium, and housing the workers. It is home to the Siberian Chemical Combine.
