The antielectron neutrino is emitted during fission in a reactor. Through an inverse beta-decay reaction (${\bar{\nu}}_e+p{\rightarrow}e{^+}+n$, IBD), the positron and the neutron generated in the liquid scintillator will be detected by using the time difference between the prompt signal and the delayed signal. During this process, light will travel a certain distance to reach the photomultiplier tube, so measurements of the optical and the physical properties of the liquid scintillator are very important. For that reason, a precise measurement of the attenuation length in a liquid scintillator is needed. This paper briefly describes a device for measuring the attenuation length in a liquid scintillator and presents the results of those measurements.
