The Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is designed to produce intense pulsed neutrons for various science and engineering applications. Copious neutrinos are a free by-product. When it reaches full power, the SNS will be the worlds brightest source of neutrinos in the few tens of MeV range. The proposed CLEAR (Coherent Low Energy A (Nuclear) Recoils) experiment will measure coherent elastic neutral current neutrino-nucleus scattering at the SNS. The physics reach includes tests of the Standard Model.
