Conclusions by results of the current measurements Dependence of flux of antineutrino is measured for the first time at small distances (6 – 12 m to the reactor center) by means moveable detector. 2. Within the available statistical accuracy reliable deviations from the law 1/L^2 where L – distance to the center of the reactor aren't revealed. The deviation at the level 90% CL isn't significant yet to consider it as reliable deviation. 3. The carried-out analysis within model of a sterile neutrino show a possibility of existence of a sterile neutrino with parameters: However the deviation at the level 90% CL isn't significant yet to declare about observation of sterile neutrino. Analysis of a possible systematics is required also.

Future plans is the preparation of new neutrino laboratory at SM-3 reactor in room №170 with two moveable detectors

Plans: 1. Continuation of measurements on this installation in room №162. 2. Creation of the second neutrino laboratory on the SM-3 reactor with base up to 15 meters in room №170. 3. Two identical detectors, one - stationary on 15 m, the second - mobile. 4. Detectors with PMT from two sides, on 25 PMT from each side. Only 100 PMT. 5. Discrimination of a signal on a form of an impulse (PSD). 6. New scintillator with 0.3%Gd, for suppression of a background of accidental coincidence. ( 3 cubic meters).
