The effects of neutron irradiation in dry tube (DT) and rotary rack (RR) facilities at PUSPATI TRIGA Reactor on the superconducting properties of (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) are reported. The samples were prepared via the co-precipitation method and exposed to neutron irradiation in both faci...
