'Learned said he tried using a 2kg scintillator detector to sniff out neutrinos before , but it failed to detect any because it was seeing too much noise from a nuclear reactor it was next to.'

I'm not a physicist but did he try moving it away from the nuclear reactor? I mean surely that's the advantage of an instrument that only weighs 2kg, it's man portable.
