Abstract
Recently, new reactor antineutrino spectra have been provided for U235, Pu239, Pu241, and U238, increasing the mean flux by about 3%. To a good approximation, this reevaluation applies to all reactor neutrino experiments. The synthesis of published experiments at reactor-detector distances 1.5\,\,eV2 (95%) and sin{}2(2$\theta${}new)=0.14\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.08 (95%). Constraints on the $\theta${}13 neutrino mixing angle are revised.
