The objective of the NEMO Collaboration is to search for neutrinoless double beta decay with sensitivity for the effective neutrino mass on the order of (0.1-0.3) eV. The NEMO-3 detector has been operating in the Fréjus Underground Laboratory since June of 2002. In this report, the design of the detector is reviewed and some characteristics are presented. Finally, the first preliminary results for double beta decay of 100Mo, 82Se, 116Cd and 150Nd are reported.
