We present transport and specific heat measurements on high quality single crystals of UPt$_3$ before and after irradiation by high energy electrons. We observe a strong dependence of the critical temperature with the sample thickness. The dramatic effects of the irradiation on the specific heat in the superconducting state can then be simply explained in terms of an inhomogeneous distribution of superconducting transition temperatures. The question of the failure of the "universal limit" in the heat transport of UPt3 is reexamined, and the conditions for a clean experimental test are established.
