Last year KamLAND collaboration presented preliminary analysis of the data taken after the shutdown of nuclear power plants.
In the absence of the background from nuclear reactors the geo-neutrino signal dominates in the observed spectrum, precision
of geoneutrino signal measurement approaches 15%. Together with Borexino measurements the new KamLAND data offers
an opportunity for the discrimination of the geophysical models of the Earth. The separation of the geo-neutrino signal from mantle is of special interest for geophysicists.
The current results of the Borexino and KamLAND will be presented. The perspectives for measurement of geo-neutrino fluxes both
on existing and planned detectors (SNO+, JUNO) will be discussed. We will discuss also the nuclear physics inputs relevant for high precision measurement of the geo-neutrino fluxes in the future.
