Abstract
A process for producing a sinterable doped superconductive powder which contains a sufficient amount of superconductive compound which is at least coated with sufficient uranium-235 and/or plutonium-239 dopant atoms to enable the sinterable powder to be formed into a sintered superconductive body which can be irradiated with thermal neutrons to produce from about 0.25.times.10.sup.14 to about 5.times.10.sup.14 fission events per cubic centimeter of the resulting irradiated superconductive body, said superconductive compound being selected from the group consisting of Bi.sub.2 CaSr.sub.2 Cu.sub.2 O.sub.8 .+-.x where x ranges from zero to 0.5, Bi.sub.2-y Pb.sub.y Ca.sub.2 Sr.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.10.+-.z where y ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 and z ranges from zero to less than 1, and mixtures thereof.
