Abstract
The construction of a solar neutrino observatory utilizing 1000 Mg of D2O in a nickel mine near Sudbury is proposed. The rationale for such an observatory, the characteristics of the detector and its sensitivity are discussed. Technical details that have been solved and several that remain are outlined. Technical measurements and designs are in progress with a view to preparing detailed costing estimates.
