GVD-I, was completed. It consisted of 8 clusters of 288 OMs each, and had a volume of about half a cubic kilometre. In the years to come the telescope will be expanded to measure one cubic kilometre (the full planned size). The project's cost (for the GVD-I phase) was about 2.5 billion Russian rubles (about 34 million $USD). Results BDUNT has used its neutrino detector to study astrophysical phenomena. Searches for relic dark matter in the Sun and high-energy muons and neutrinos have been published.
