Goals of the workshop

Measuring sin²2q₁₃ using reactor neutrinos has been discussed extensively in the world and we have been also exploring the possibility in China for quite some time. Now we think that the Daya bay nuclear power plant near Hong Kong is a very good candidate: 
1) The thermal power is 4*2.9 GW, a total of 11.6 GW. Two more cores will be online in about 2010;
2) There are mountains near by, the overburden is easily 300MWE for the near site, and 1200 MWE for the far site;
3) There are no fundamental problems to dig the tunnel

In order to further study its feasibility, we would like to organize a mini-workshop to review the current status and to gain support from international colleagues and our funding agencies. After the meeting, we will organize a visit to the Daya Bay power plant.
