Our collaboration is operating a segmented scintillation detector, containing 11.3tons of 0.1% Gd loaded liquid scintillator, at 750, 888 and 889m distance from three nuclear power reactors. Goal of the experiment is to search for neutrino oscillations in disappearance mode. The anti-neutrino capture on the proton serves as detection reaction. The experiment is expected to reach a sensitivity of Δm2>1.3.10-3eV2 and sin22θ>0.1. Our range of sensitivity is tuned to test the νμ<-->νe solution of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly as reported by the Kamiokande experiment. Assembly of the detector in an underground lab, with 32mw.e. effective overburden, is completed. Since June 1998 we are taking data at full reactor power. Detector design and performance are discussed.
