Description

VIDARR (Verification Instrument for
the Direct Assay of Radiation at Range (VIDARR) is a ~2 tonne plastic scintillator detector doped with gadolinium designed to measure the anti-neutrino flux from reactor cores at a safe distance outside the core. The detector will shortly be deployed at Sellafield to detect anti-neutrinos from nuclear waste. A description of the detector and deployment will be given.
