We present a simulation based study for monitoring Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant’s activity using antineutrino flux originating from the reactor core. A water Cherenkov detector has been designed and optimization studies have been performed using Geant4 simulation toolkit. It was found that 1 ton of water Cherenkov detector with 0.3%-0.5% amount of gadolinium should be used for monitoring a nuclear reactor.
