It was formerly known as Cockburn Island. Along with its neighboring atoll, Moruroa, it has been the site of approximately 200 nuclear bomb tests. GeographyThe island is approx. {{convert|9.5|km|mi|abbr=off}} long and {{convert|9.5|km|mi|abbr=off}} wide. It has a lagoon area of {{convert|45|km2|sqmi|abbr=off}} and a land area of {{convert|5|km|mi|abbr=off}}. It is located {{convert|37|km|mi|abbr=off}} south of Moruroa atoll, {{convert|197|km|mi|abbr=off}} east of Tematangi, {{convert|240|km|mi|abbr=off}} southwest of the Gambier Islands and {{convert|1,190|km|mi|abbr=off}} southeast of Tahiti. Access to the lagoon is through a pass lying {{convert|0.5|mi|km|1|abbr=off}} SW of the northernmost point of the atoll; the channel has a width of about {{convert|60|m|ft|abbr=off}} and a dredged depth of {{convert|6.5|m|ft|1|abbr=off}}. A {{convert|12|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=mid|-long}} quay, in {{convert|2.5|m|ft|1|abbr=off}} of water, is situated in the NE part of the lagoon; another quay, {{convert|50|m|ft|abbr=off}} long in {{convert|5|m|ft|abbr=off}} of water, and landing ramps, were constructed in its E part. The access channel is marked, on each side, by two beacons. There is an abandoned airfield, built to accommodate medium size transport aircraft, on the NE coast of the atoll. It is reported that the pass of Fangataufa is obstructed by a chain boom. This boom can be moved by agreement with the local military authority. HistoryThe first recorded European to arrive at Fangataufa Atoll was Frederick William Beechey in 1826. The atoll was inhabited well into the 20th century. Fangataufa was the site of France's first two-stage thermonuclear test, code named Canopus, detonated on August 24, 1968. The nuclear explosion had a yield of 2.6 megatons. The atoll was also the location of the 1970 914-kiloton Licorne ('Unicorn') test and two other atmospheric nuclear tests as well as several underground nuclear tests. Today, Fangataufa serves as a wildlife sanctuary for various species of birds. Fangataufa is permanently uninhabited. It is classified as a Common Military Zone. The zone includes the lagoon areas enclosed by the atoll and by baselines linking the closest points emerging from the reef on both sides of the channel. Entry is prohibited without authorization. AdministrationAdministratively Fangataufa Atoll is part of the commune of Tureia, which includes the atolls of Tureia, Moruroa, Tematangi and Vanavana. It was ceded to France for nuclear tests in 1964. See also
