Understanding Neutron Radiography Reading V-Kodak Part 2 of 3

A convenient supply of clean towels is an incentive to dry the hands often and
well. Use of envelope-packed films avoids these problems until the envelope
is opened for processing. Thereafter, of course, the usual precautions must
be observed. Another important precaution is to avoid drawing film rapidly
from cartons, exposure holders, or cassettes. Such care will help materially to
eliminate objectionable circular or treelike black markings in the radiograph,
the results of static electric discharges.
■ The interleaving paper should be removed before the film is loaded
between either lead or fluorescent screens.
■ When using exposure holders in direct exposure techniques, however, the
paper should be left on the film for the added protection that it provides.
