Abstract
The Angra Neutrino Project aims at measuring neutrinos from the Angra-II power plant for monitoring purposes. The water Cherenkov detector, with a fiducial volume of about 1.4 ton filled with a solution of GdCl3, is under construction in Rio de Janeiro. All parts are already constructed and are being assembled and tested first at CBPF to be installed in Angra later this year. The current status of simulations, construction and tests is presented. This will be the first neutrino detector entirely designed, constructed and operated in Brazil.
