Abstract

Aging of a photographic nuclear emulsion produced by the Russian company Slavich under various conditions, in a thermal chamber and under natural conditions, is studied. The results demonstrate stable properties of the tested nuclear emulsion, declared by the manufacturer, under all aging conditions.
