Its water comes from the [[Chagan River (tributary of Irtysh River)]]. Often referred to as &quot;Atomic Lake,&quot; the crater lake's volume is approximately {{convert|100000|m3|acre.ft|abbr=on}} and the lake is still [[radioactive]]. To the south, the rim of the crater holds back the waters of a second reservoir.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Sedan (nuclear test)]] – An American cratering detonation<br /> * [[Pechora–Kama Canal]]<br /> * [[Crater lake]]s usually formed by volcanic events.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *[https://e-reports-ext.llnl.gov/pdf/238468.pdf On the Soviet program for peaceful uses of nuclear weapons]<br /> *[http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Russia/Sovwpnprog.html#Chagan On the Soviet nuclear program]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEqYroQEtA8 Russia Today documentary that visits the lake at around the 1 minute mark.]<br /> *[https://www.google.lv/maps/@49.90934,79.001141,13067m/data=!3m1!1e3 Lake Chagan on Google Maps]<br /> {{Lakes of Kazakhstan}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Crater lakes]]<br /> [[Category:Lakes of Kazakhstan|Chagan]]<br /> [[Category:Peaceful nuclear explosions]]<br /> [[Category:Explosion craters]]</div>
