Diffuse X‐ray scattering near the Bragg reflection and Bragg line profile analyses are made in γ‐irradiated LiF single crystals using a double crystal X‐ray diffractometer. A preferential alteration in the profile parameters is noted. Clusters with mean parameter sizes from hundreds to thousands of angstroms are observed but each sample presents a set of average size values. The nature of the clusters is found to depend on the γ‐dose: vacancies at low dose (≈ 10 Mrd) and interstitials at high dose (≈ 50 Mrd). Some process of coalescence at 50 Mrd seems to occur.
