✦ Synopsis

The final status of the single module configuration for CUORE experiment will be illustrated. CUORE is a tightly packed array of 988 TeO2 bolometers and represents one of the best approaches to search for neutrinoless double beta decay(ββ0ν). TeO2 crystals production is now well established and specific attention was dedicated to test the complete infrastructures. During the last months, dedicated measurements, referred as CCVR (Chinese Crystal Validation Run), were done at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). Results obtained in CCVR runs will be presented considering the detector performances achieved and the characteristics that can be attributed to all the final detectors parts.
