EFFECT OF POLONIUM /cap alpha/ RADIATION ON GELATINE (in French)

OSTI ID:4717827

When a nuclear plate, which has been exposed to radiation, developed, and dried, is exposed to a Po source, no effect can be detected by either the eye or the microscope. However if the plate is placed in distilled water, the emulsion thickness of the irradiated region is reduced by approximately 20 mu . A ridge'' separates this region from the nonirradiated region. The ridge contains piles of silver grains, very deformed traces of the old radiation, and some gelatin fragments. It appears that the alpha particles penetrating the gelatine transforms this gelatin, reversible protein, into a substance soluble'' in distilled water or entrained by the distilled water. (J.S.R.)
