Experimental results are presented on the effects of x-ray radiation on superconducting samples of polycrystalline YBaCuO and BiSrCaCuO. The radiation effects are detected by changes of the magnetization of the sample using a SQUID magnetometer. In the presence of radiation, the changes in magnetization correspond to release of trapped flux, fluxon destruction, and to low frequency noise due to flux flow. 3 refs., 4 figs.
