NESTOR is an underwater neutrino astrophysics laboratory to be located
in the international waters of the southwest of Greece. The first phase
of this experiment is the construction and deployment of one hexagonal
tower consisting of 168 optical modules, with effective area of
20000m(2) for E greater than or equal to TeV neutrinos. Over the past
few years detailed studies of the site have been carried out while many
tests have been performed. The current status of the preparation of the
experiment and the future plans will be presented
