“…However, disadvantage of lead is a well-known environmental pollutant and health hazard. The environmental toxicity of lead had spread research interests in the field of radiation shielding materials for replacing lead [2,3]. The glass materials can be used for the radiation shielding material with the advantage is the high transparent in the visible region.…”

The bismuth sodium borate glasses in formula xBi2O3:20Na2O:(80-x)B2O3 (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 mol %) have been prepared by melt-quenching technique. The glass sample at x=0 mol% show the colorless and show the stronger yellow at the higher Bi2O3 content. The glasses’s colors are corespondening with the cutoff wavelength’s results. The shielding properties were measured at 662 keV by Cs-137 radiation source. The obtained results show that the mass attenuation coefficient increased with the increasing of Bi2O3 concentration. Half Value Layer (HVL) of glasses were determined and compared with the some standard shielding materials. The optical and physical properties were also investigated.
