The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) will be a 20 kt liquid scintillator neutrino detector. Its main goal is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy from a precise measurement of the energy spectrum of anti-electron-neutrinos 53 km away from the reactor. To precisely measure the oscillation pattern of the reactor spectrum an unpredecent energy resolution for this kind of detector of 3% at 1 MeV is needed. Pile-up events with background from radioactive decays such as those from 14C can spoil the reconstruction of the neutrino energy. In this talk a clusterization method for detecting spoiled pile-up events is presented. It is optimized to give the best sensitivty on the neutrino mass-hierarchy. Furthermore the suppression of dark-noise using this method is presented.
