In this paper I give an overview of the status of neutrino oscillation
experiments performed using nuclear reactors as sources of neutrinos. I review
the present generation of experiments (Chooz and Palo Verde) with baselines of
about 1 km as well as the next generation that will search for oscillations
with a baseline of about 100 km. While the present detectors provide essential
input towards the understanding of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly, in the
future, the KamLAND reactor experiment represents our best opportunity to study
very small mass neutrino mixing in laboratory conditions. In addition KamLAND
with its very large fiducial mass and low energy threshold, will also be
sensitive to a broad range of different physics.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures To appear in the proceedings of WIN99, Cape Town,
