The displacement cross-section of iron was calculated for gamma-ray irradiation with the energy range of 1 to 15 MeV, which corresponds to radiation fields in fission reactors. Three gamma-material interactions, Compton scattering, pair production and photoelectric effect were considered. The displacements induced by both electrons and positrons were included. For damage function the modified Kinchin-Pease model with the displacement energy of 40 eV was applied, which are used as the standard damage model in neutron-induced displacement calculations. The standard damage model gave a lower cross-section by a factor of 1.3 compared to Kinchin-Pease model, and the exact treatment of positron contribution gave a lower cross-section by a factor 1.1 compared to an approximation treating positrons as electrons. The present cross-section was lower by a factor of 1.1–2.0 than the cross-sections previously proposed in the literatures.
