A single-phased Ba₂YCu₃O_7-y pellet was sequentially irradiated with 3 MeV electrons up to 2.25×10²² m^-2 at about 370 K, and the magnetization measurements were carried out at 77 K in fields up to a corresponding magnetic flux density of 1.0 T. The critical current density estimated from the magnetization mesurement was enhanced by the electron irradiation; the enhancement was larger in higher magnetic fields. The current density at 1.0 T of 7.4 MA·m^-2 was increased to 11.3 MA·m^-2 by the electron irradiation to 1.75×10²² m^-2, and then decreased upon further irradiation.
