The neutrino group in the Physics Department at Liverpool University is developing applications for neutrino detection technologies which they are using in current experiments or developing for future ones.Remote anti-neutrino detection is being developed for continuous, automatic, and non-intrusive plutonium monitoring and accounting of a reactor core, for security and non-proliferation purposes. The approach pursused here is for improved cooperative monitoring of nuclear reactors, as required by the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. The IAEA have endorsed research into this anti-neutrino detection technology, which is currently ongoing in Europe and the USA. The main objective is to build a proof-of-concept, detector for remote continuous monitoring and plutonium accounting of reactor cores using the neutrino flux based upon T2K ECal technology.

利物浦大学物理系的中微子小组正在开发中微子检测技术的应用，他们在当前的实验中或为将来的实验开发。依次正在开发用于连续，自动和非侵入性的plutos plutonium监测和非侵入性plut虫的检测用于安全性和不扩散目的的反应堆核心的会计。这里采用的方法是为了改善核反应堆的合作监测，按照核反应堆的要求。国际原子能机构（IAEA）认可了对目前在欧洲和美国正在进行的抗神经检测技术的研究。主要目的是使用基于T2K ECAL技术的中微子通量来建立远程连续监测和p鼠核对反应堆核心的探测器。
