Not Quite Still Closed to Non-Residents

[edit]

Despite the order removing Seversk's secret status, the city still remains closed to non-residents. I realize that the paragraph goes on to discuss some exceptions, but the exceptions to not seem to allow for people such as U.S. citizens to enter Seversk (Tomsk-7). In fact, a couple times per year a U.S. delegation of nuclear scientists from the United States National Laboratories (Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos and others) visit Seversk to monitor the downblending of weapons grade uranium and plutonium from disassembled Russian nuclear weapons. (As it turns out, my spouse is currently on the way to Tomsk for just such a monitoring visit, the fourth made in three years.) Interestingly, the passports of U.S. citizens are confiscated (usually in Moscow) and not returned until the conclusion of the monitoring trips which typically last 10 to 18 days.

Technically, an exception can be made for any city/town with a closed status; heck, one was made even for Vladivostok when President Ford visited it in 1974! The point is that regardless of the exceptions, a closed city would still be generally closed to most foreign nationals.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 17, 2010; 19:56 (UTC)

The page should be updated to reflect the closure of the reactor in Zheleznogorsk. —Ahruman (talk) 12:14, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
