The average and local structures of Ce$$_{1-x}$$La$$_{x}$$O$$_{2-x/2}$$ which is one of the excellent proton conductors were analyzed by using the Rietveld/ Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) and the Atomic Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis method with the neutron diffraction. The lattice parameter of hydrogen doped Ce$$_{1-x}$$La$$_{x}$$O$$_{2-x/2}$$ is larger than those of undoped sample. This result is caused by the effect of hydrogen doping. The peaks of the PDF profiles were slightly wider than those of normal crystals. This phenomenon shows the local disorder exists in the samples. In this work, the relationship between the average and local structures of hydrogen doped and undoped Ce$$_{1-x}$$La$$_{x}$$O$$_{2-x/2}$$ will be discussed.
