The possibility of employment of a photographic film for beta - dojimetry is discussed. A methodical procedure is suggested for conducting individual control of the beta -particles flux with the aid of a recommended casette. The control of the beta -particle flux may be carried out in presence of gamma radiation, the physical dose of which is determined by the darkening of the same film. The graduated dependence curve of film darkening on radiation dose is traced in the same way as in conducting the individual photo-control of gamma effects. Co/sup 60/ or radium are used as a source of radiation. The relative sensitivity of the film to beta -radiation for thin and thick flat beta -radiators is characterized by the B coefficient, the value of which is given in the table. The practical use ot the photo-film as a beta - and gamma - dosimeter for a wide range of energies is possible when the spectrum of the beta -radiation is known and that beta radiation is not accompanied by a significant amount of gamma radiation with the energy below 200 Kev.
