Abstract
We calculate the event rates induced by high-intensity radioactive sources
of 
(51Cr) and of 
(90Sr), to be located
near the BOREXINO detector. Calculations are performed both in the standard
case and assuming non-standard properties of neutrinos, including flavor
oscillations, neutrino electromagnetic interactions, and deviations from the
standard vector and axial couplings in the -e interaction. It is
shown that, in some cases, the current limits on non-standard neutrino
properties can be significantly improved.
