Abstract
Neutrinos from reactors have played an important and decisive role in the early history of neutrino oscillations (e.g. [6.1]). After considerable controversy in the early 1980s, results from the reactors at ILL [6.2] in 1981, Goesgen [6.3] in 1986 and Bugey [6.4] in 1995 have shown no evidence for neutrino oscillations involving reactor \(\Delta {m^2} = \left| {m_2^2 - m_1^2} \right|\). More recently, the Chooz [6.5] and Palo Verde [6.6, 6.7] experiments have confirmed these findings with greater sensitivity. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the developments involving reactor neutrinos and to outline the current status and future studies.
