The OSIRIS detector is designed to monitor the radio-purity of the liquid scintillator (LS) during the filling of JUNO detector. It will be located between the LS-purification plant and the JUNO Central Detector and measure the purified LS either in a continuous flow or in batches. Its acrylic vessel can hold 18 tons of LS and it will feature an energy resolution of better than 10% @ 1 MeV. In the filling process of JUNO, OSIRIS will act as an early warning system to prevent contamination of the Central Detector in case of a failure of the purification plant. Beyond this purpose it can further aid JUNO with long-time measurements of the scintillator. This talk will give an overview of the detector simulation and sensitivity studies for OSIRIS.
