Abstract

The paper is devoted to the description of the iDREAM detector and its systems. iDREAM is a prototype detector designed to demonstrate the feasibility of antineutrino detectors for remote reactor monitoring and safeguard purposes. Antineutrinos are detected with a 1 ton liquid scintillator via inverse beta decay on protons. In order to suppress cosmic muons, gamma and neutron background, the detector is housed in a dedicated shielding. The detector is installed at the Kalinin nuclear power plant (Russia), 20 m from the 3 GWth reactor core.
