  We present the status and plans of the Angra Project, a new nuclear reactor
neutrino oscillation experiment, proposed to be built in Brazil at the Angra
dos Reis nuclear reactor complex. This experiment is aimed to measure theta_13,
the last unknown of the three neutrino mixing angles. Combining a high
luminosity design, very low background from cosmic rays and careful control of
systematic errors at the 1% level, we propose a high sensitivity multi-detector
experiment, able to reach a sensitivity to antineutrino disappearance down to
sin^2(2*theta_13) = 0.006 in a three years running period, improving present
limits constrained by the CHOOZ experiment by more than an order of magnitude.
