CUORE is a 741 kg array of 988 TeO $ _2 $ bolometeric crystals designed to search for the
neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{130} $ Te and other rare processes. CUORE has been
taking data since summer 2017, and as of summer 2018 collected a total of 86.3 kg $\cdot $
yr of TeO $ _2 $ exposure. Based on this exposure, we were able to set a limit on the
$0\nu\beta\beta $ half-life of $^{130} $ Te of $ T^{0\nu} _ {1/2}> 1.5\times10^{25} $ yr at 90%

CUORE is a 741 kg array of 988 TeO bolometeric crystals designed to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Te and other rare processes. CUORE has been taking data since summer 2017, and as of summer 2018 collected a total of 86.3 kgyr of TeO exposure. Based on this exposure, we were able to set a limit on the half-life of Te of yr at 90% C.L. At this conference, we showed the decomposition of the CUORE background and were able to extract a Te half-life of $T_{1/2}^{2\nu}=[7.9\pm0.1 \mathrm{(stat.)}\pm0.2 \mathrm{(syst.)}]\times10^{20}$ yr. This is the most precise measurement of this half-life and is consistent with previous measurements.
