Abstract
We have developed a neutron imaging plate (NIP) as a new neutron detec tor and already reported the fundamental features of the NIP. The opti mization of the NIP was carried out by changing a molar ratio of conve rter materials to PSL (Photostimulated luminescence) materials and thi ckness of the NIP. Some problems such as ir-ray sensitivity and irradi ation effect for the practical use of the NIP were discussed. Several examples of application of the NIP were introduced.
