A method of charging the plates NlKFI K of 100 microns with boron and lithium was investigated, along with a method of treating the charged plates in order to determine certain neutron fluxes. A curve was plotted for the absorption of boron and lithium per milliliter of emulsion, and the changes of the working characteristics of the emulsion as a function of the concentration were also investigated. Thus, NlKFI K 100 micron plates were obtained, containing 10 to 120 mg of boron/milliliter of emulsion and 3.5 to 20 mg of lithium/milliliter of emulsion, depending on the concentration of the impregnating solution. The plates so charged can serve relative determinations of neutron fluxes. For absolute determinations it is necessary first to calibrate against a standard source.
