New predictions for the antineutrino flux from nuclear reactors suggest that reactor experiments may have measured a deficit in this flux, which can be interpreted in terms of oscillations between the known active neutrinos and new sterile states. We perform a reanalysis of global short-baseline neutrino oscillation data in a framework with one or two sterile neutrinos. While one sterile neutri...

India has long pursued a fast breeder program, motivated in part by the availability of only poor quality uranium resources within the country. But progress so far has been disappointing, with only one test reactor having been constructed and having a chequered operating history. The larger Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor that is being constructed has a design that compromises safety and will pr...

Remote detection of undeclared nuclear reactors remains one of the key goals concerning global nuclear security. To meet this goal the WATCHMAN collaboration has proposed the construction of a water based antineutrino detector, sited 13 to 25 kilometres from a nuclear reactor complex. Antineutrinos from the reactor interact in the water of the detector via an inverse beta decay interaction resu...
