Abstract
The program of the Reactor Neutrino Experiments of Turkey includes a small portable Water-based liquid scintillator detector to detect neutrinos from the Akkuyu nuclear power plant, planned to begin operating in 2023. The small near-field detector will weigh about 2-3 tons and will be placed less than 100 meters from the reactor cores.
The Reactor Neutrino Experiments of Turkey program also includes a medium-size 30-ton Water-based liquid scintillator detector, which will be placed 1-2 km away from the reactor cores and will be used as a far detector.
Both detectors and their responses to neutrino interactions were simulated using a GEANT4-based RAT-PAC simulation package.
Here, we will share the technical and physical details of both detectors, and discuss the ongoing R&D effort for neutrino studies in Turkey.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
