Description
We report the status of Reactor Experiment for Neutrino and Exotics (RENE),
which primarily aims to search for the sterile neutrino oscillation at $\Delta m_{41}^2 \sim 2 eV^2$.
The joint study of RENO and NEOS experiments showed a hint for the sterile neutrinos
at $\Delta m_{41}^2 \sim 2.4 eV^2$ and $\sim 1.7 eV^2$, which overlap with the allowed region by the Reactor Anti-neutrino Anomaly.
This experiment can also take precise measurements of the flux and spectrum of reactor electron antineutrino,
and separate the reactor neutrino spectrum into those from 235U and 239Pu.
In this presentation, the detector concept, physics cases, and the status of the experiment will be reported.
