Abstract

See full text

The measurement device comprises a real-time measurement-signal acquisition module (25) and means (23, 24) for connecting the cables for picking up the voltage from electrical windings for measuring the movement of the control rods to the acquisition module (25), in order to deliver, to the acquisition module (25), voltage signals corresponding to the voltage induced in the windings while the control rods are being dropped. The signal acquisition module (25) is thus permanently connected to the voltage-signal pickup cables (29) and the signals relating to the set of nuclear reactor control rods may be recorded simultaneously. Means (26, 27) for using the voltage signals delivered by the acquisition system (25) allow the drop times of the control rods to be determined.
