  The first generation of solar neutrino experiments narrowed the allowed
flavor mixing and mass parameter solutions (for nu_e <-> nu_x) to a few
isolated regions of sin^2*2*theta - delta M^2 parameter space. Recently, the
Small Mixing Angle (SMA) solution, and the ``just so'' solutions have been
disfavored by results from Super-Kamiokande and SNO. The Kamioka Liquid
scintillator Anti-Neutrino Detector (KamLAND) recently became operational, and
is particularly sensitive to the Large Mixing Angle (LMA) region. We believe
the background impurity levels in the detector are low enough to conduct a
successful experiment. The stability of the central balloon and PMTs has also
been confirmed.
