Several observed anomalies in neutrino oscillation data can be explained by a hypothetical fourth neutrino separated from the three standard neutrinos by a squared mass difference of more than 0.1 eV^2. We will discuss in details both the gallium and reactor antineutrino anomalies. We will then discuss the CeLAND experiment aiming at testing both anomalies on a short time-scale with a 75 kCi antineutrino beta-source (144Ce) deployed in/next to a large low background liquid scintillator detector like KamLAND or Borexino.
