 In addition, a liquid scintillator experiment can detect anti-neutrinos like those created in nuclear fission reactors and the decay of thorium and uranium in the earth.SNO+ uses 780 tonnes of linear alkylbenzene as the scintillator (the detector started to be filled with the scintillator at the end of 2018 ) and will be filled with formula_1 in the future.Originally the plan was to fill with 0.3 % Te-130 (800 kg) , but later talks have cited 0.5 % (1.3 tonnes)

Earlier proposals placed more emphasis on neutrino observations.
