Silver halide photographic light-sensitive material

A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing light-sensitive silver halide grains, at least 10% in number of said halide grains being tabular grains having a diameter/thickness ratio of not less than 5, and said tabular silver halide grains satisfying the following conditions:

• (1) each tabular grain comprises an iodine-containing silver halide solid solution internal high iodine phase in the interior part thereof, and said internal high iodine phase is contained with areas covering, with regard to its major axis direction, 60% by mole of silver in the grain;
• (2) the average iodine content in said internal high iodine phase is not less than the average iodine content of any phase in each grain and at least 5 times that of silver bromide, iodobromide or chloroiodobromide contained in any phase which is present outside of said internal high iodine phase;
• and
• (3) the amount of silver contained in said internal high iodine phase is not more than 50% by mole of the total amount of silver contained in the grain and wherein each said tabular grains has a total iodine content of from 0.1 to 10% by mole.
