The SCP is a city-forming enterprise for the closed administrative territory called Seversk (abbreviated in Russian as ZATO Seversk).

The Siberian Chemical Plant («SCP» JSC, Seversk) comprises four plants for processing fissile materials. One of the SCP’s core activities is to satisfy the needs of nuclear power plants in uranium for nuclear fuel.

The SCP is affiliated to the TVEL Fuel Company of ROSATOM www.tvel.ru

The SCP specializes in the production of uranium hexafluoride and the enrichment of natural and reprocessed uranium used for the fabrication of fuel for nuclear power plants, and the refining of natural and reprocessed uranium from chemical and radioactive impurities.

The company’s core activities include:

Production of uranium hexafluoride for enrichment;

Production of enriched uranium hexafluoride;

Construction of the Pilot Demonstration Power Complex (PDPC) under the “Proryv” (Breakthrough) project;

Decommissioning and maintaining in safe condition nuclear and radiation hazardous facilities (nuclear legacy);

Creation of experimental fuel rods and fuel assemblies with U-Pu fuel for fast neutron reactors and thermal neutron reactors;

Manufacture of general-industry products.

At present, “SCP” JSC accommodates conversion capacities that provide 100% of the industry's demand for feed UF6.
