Abstract: Experimental results on the magnetic field behavior of the critical current in silver sheathed Bi-2223 tapes are presented. The experiments consist of transport and magnetic measurements in a wide temperature range and in external magnetic field up to 6 T. Significant enhancement of the intragrain critical current densities Jc are observed after irradiation with fast neutron. This is attributed to an improvement of flux pinning capability by the neutron induced defects, but the weak link structure is somewhat damaged as evidenced by the small degradation of transport critical current at low field. According to the measurement of remanent magnetic moment before and after irradiation with fast neutron, the connectivity in Bi-2223 tapes is reduced by 50% after irradiated to a fluence of 2 × 1021 m-2, which resulted in the critical currents degradated by a factor of 10%.
