The Shacha River (Russian: Шача) is a small tributary of the Tsna (Цна) River in Russia. It has presented a hydrologic problem since the Globus-1 test, when it changed its course and threatened to flood the hole left by the explosion. This has the potential for spreading the nuclear pollution to the entire Volga region. Several engineers have proposed building a reinforced covering over the hole and digging a 12 km channel to shift the river away from the place of explosion. There is nearby town named Shatsk (Шацк).
