A procedure was studied for incorporating salts of boron and lithium in the emulsion layer of NIKFI K plates having a thickness of 100 mu and for processing them for the determination of neutron flux. The plates were impregnated for 1 hour at 24 deg C with solutions of boron and lithium compounds, which contained 4 to 65 mg/ml of boron or 0.8 to 10 mg/ml of lithium at a pH from 6.6 to 6.8. Under these conditions a curve of the content of boron and lithium in 1 ml of the emulsion was plotted, and a study was made of changes in the properties of emulsion depending upon concentration. In this manner NIKFI K plates which were 100 mu thick and which contained 10 to 120 mg boron per 1 ml emulsion, and 3.5 to 20 mg/ml of lithium. which could be used for relative determinations of neutron fluxes. were obtained. For absolute determinations of these fluxes it was necessary to calibrate the plates beforehand with a standard source.
