  The NOvA collaboration blended and delivered 8.8 kt (2.72M gal) of liquid
scintillator as the active detector medium to its near and far detectors. The
composition of this scintillator was specifically developed to satisfy NOvA's
performance requirements. A rigorous set of quality control procedures was put
in place to verify that the incoming components and the blended scintillator
met these requirements. The scintillator was blended commercially in Hammond,
IN. The scintillator was shipped to the NOvA detectors using dedicated
stainless steel tanker trailers cleaned to food grade.
