Abstract
The main characteristics of experimental searches for neutrino oscillations at nuclear reactors are reviewed. We then describe the Chooz and Palo Verde experiments and report their results to date. We also describe the KamLAND experiment, presently under construction in the Kamioka laboratory in Japan, which is designed to extend the sensitivity to νe ⇄ νX oscillations by two orders of magnitude in Δm 2. In particular, this experiment expects to be able to carry out a terrestial test of the large-angle MSW solution to the solar neutrino problem.
