Abstract
A method for detecting the dropping of at least one control element in a reactor core of a power station by delaying signals output by detectors disposed along a fall path of the control element in such a way that they are approximately simultaneous. This improves a registration of the dropping of the control element by improving a ratio between a useful signal and a noise signal.
