Abstract

Large fluxes of electron antineutrinos are generated by nuclear reactors, carrying information related to the composition and the thermal power of the cores. This application attracted the IAEA's attention, indeed antineutrino detectors could constitute potential safeguard tools. Here we present the Nucifer experiment, under development at CEA Saclay and SUBATECH Nantes. Nucifer is currently being installed at 7 m away from the Osiris-Saclay research reactor core and it will start to take data by January 2012.
