These devices are commercially available. In reactor-based NR-facilities<br />

using automatic NR-film cameras, ionization of the ambient air by the gamma<br />

radiation neutralizes the static electricity produced during stepwise film<br />

displacement.<br />

Felt pads are here sufficient for dust removal. In order to limit the effects<br />

arising from self-decomposition, the nitrocellulose film should only be kept for<br />

short periods in closed confinements. Appropriate ventilation for removal of<br />

the nitrous gases should be applied in all other cases. It is strongly<br />

recommende that unused film is stored in a cool and dry environment at<br />

approx. 4°C and at a max. Relative humidity of 50%, away from any heat or<br />

source of ignition. Because the decomposition process is continuous, it is<br />

further proposed to take photographic copies of the exposed and processed<br />

nitrocellulose film which can then be destroyed. National and international<br />

regulations for transportation, storage, inspection and destruction of<br />

inflammable solid matter apply to nitrocellulose film also.<br />
