The possibility of the BEST experiment on electron neutrino disappearance with intense artificial sources of electron neutrino {sup 51}Cr is considered. BEST has the great potential to search for transitions of active neutrinos to sterile states with Δm{sup 2} ∼ 1 eV{sup 2} and to set the limits on short baseline electron neutrino disappearance oscillation parameters. The possibility of the further constraints the oscillation parameters region with using {sup 65}Zn source is discussed.
