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.

    From Wikipedia (and my neutrino physics knowledge) , the goal is to measure neutrino oscillation (neutrino charge flavour when travelling), and it seens to be a set of detector located at various distance from a nuclear reactor. The photo mostly looks like one of the reactors rather than the detector
