Report
Radiation damage program at Argonne National Laboratory as applied to fusion magnets and the intense pulsed neutron source
Description
A program was undertaken to understand the effect of fast-neutron irradiation on superconducting NbTi and Nb3Sn. The results of irradiation temperature and initial sample metallurgy of Nb3Sn are shown where J/sub c/ is the critical current density, i.e., the current that the superconductor can carry before developing a voltage. In all cases, the radiation induced defects increase J/sub c/, but it is seen that the size of the increase is a strong function of the initial sample metallurgy, i.e., the initial value of J/sub c/, and the irradiation temperature
