DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Frederick Smit (NRF iThemba LABS\, Somerset West\, S
 outh Africa)\nOver the past 15 years\, in the consortium EARTH (Earth Anti
 neutRino TomograpHy)\, low energy experiments have been carried out with t
 he detection of antineutrinos as a theme. The ultimate goal was to learn m
 ore about the role of nuclear decay in the interior of the Earth [1-3]. Th
 is required developing direction sensitive antineutrino detection to detec
 t geoneutrinos. Here searching for remnants of possible nuclear reactions 
 may also provide clues [4]. Other experiments were done into whether neutr
 inos from the Sun have a greater influence on radioactive decay than is co
 mmonly accepted by using antineutrinos from reactors as a surrogate to inv
 estigate these claims [5]. The work done on these unfinished projects will
  be reviewed and some ideas for future work will be given. \n\n[1] R.J. de
