Description
At present, various neutrino applications are widely discussed through the community. One such topic is the use of neutrinos for nuclear nonproliferation and reactor monitoring. Industrial detector of reactor antineutrinos for monitoring (IDREAM) is the prototype detector, developed for antineutrinos registration from the reactor core through the inverse beta decay process. Neutrino target is 1 ton of liquid scintillator based on linear alkylbenzene doped with gadolinium. The detector has been installed at Kalinin nuclear power plant (Russia), 19 m from the reactor core. The IDREAM data taking is ongoing since spring 2021. In this talk the concepts and schemes of the experiment will be presented. The results of gamma and neutron background measurements at the detector's location, as well as efficiency estimation of the IDREAM radiation shielding will be discussed.
