Abstract :
Three types of "in situ" Nb3Sn conductors have been studied to determine the detrimental effects of neutron irradiation on critical temperature, critical current and AC losses. It was found that at fluences of 1018n/cm2, the critical temperature is degraded by approximately 10 %. Degradation of AC loss is discussed in comparison with that of critical current density.
