Shacha River

Shacha River

The Shacha River is a small tributary of the Volga River in Russia. It has been a problem since the Globus-1 explosion, when it changed its location and threatened to flood the hole of the explosion. Potentially it can lead to the nuclear pollution of the entire Volga region. several engineers propose building a sarcophagus over the place of the explosions and digging a 12 km channel to shift the Shacha river away from the place of explosion. It has a town on it named Shatsk, Russia.
