World status ! General conclusion is that a 1% measurement is well-worth pursuing ! “There is NOT YET any real measurement of reactor neutrino expt”.

World status ! Characteristics of the previous and current neutrino-e scattering experiments Expected Sensitivities : The accuracy of s(nee) drop down to 20% “Sin2qW was observed but there is NOT YET any real measurement for reactor neutrino”.
