Understanding Neutron Radiography Reading V-Kodak Part 2 of 3

■ Identify each strip.
Place half of the strips in an airtight, light tight container; put the container in a
moisture proof bag (a bag made of polyethylene, for example); and place the
package in the refrigerator to minimize fading of the latent image. The strips
are kept in the refrigerator for processing with freshly exposed strips the
following day. (A freshly exposed control strip is always processed with a
refrigerated control strip exposed in the same unit the previous day.) Tape the
control strips to a leader if they are to be processed in an automated
processor. This will provide better transport. If they are to receive rack-andank
processing, it may be necessary to make a special strip hanger or to
adapt a standard film hanger in order to hold the strips securely. The control
strips should always be processed with the high-density end down.
