Sedan Crater is the result of the Sedan nuclear test and is located within the Nevada Test Site, 12 miles southwest of Groom Lake, Nevada . The crater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1994.
The crater is the result of the displacement of 12,000,000 short tons of earth. Over 10,000 people per year visit the crater through free monthly tours offered by the U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Site Office. Its closest Soviet counterpart is the slightly wider Chagan crater which filled in to create Lake Chagan.
