Radiation damage to undulator systems made of permanent magnet materials like NdFeB or SmCo is a critical issue in SASE projects. It is of even more interest in high-duty cycle machines using superconducting accelerators such as the TESLA Test Facility (TTF), which is a prototype for the future X-FEL at TESLA. This paper reports on experience on the undulator system of the VUV-FEL of TTF-1, which...
