    Not sure about this particular experiment, but neutrino detectors are usually deep underground and trying to find a tiny tiny spark of Cherenkov radiation or other effects.
    I’m guessing the blue colour is simply paint.

The photo mostly looks like one of the reactors rather than the detector
