“…In order to determine the characteristic of the selected glass systems and the possibility of development as a promising shielding material, it is required to compare the radiation shielding performance with previously published various materials (such as concretes, glasses [42]. The obtained HVLs have lower than all concretes (C1-C7) and glasses (S1-S7) while they are higher than those of Gl4, Gl5 and Gl6 glass samples having densities of 7.726, 7.801 and 8.284 g/cm 3 , respectively [39].…”

In the present study, the gamma radiation shielding properties of glasses in CdO-WO 3 -TeO 2 ternary systems have been calculated using WinXCom program. The mass attenuation coefficient ( ), half value layer (HVL), effective atomic number (Z eff ) and electron density (N eff ) values for total photon interaction for a wide range of photon energies from 0.015 to 10 MeV have been estimated. The obtained results for the investigated glass systems have been compared in terms of HVL with some standard concrete and different glass samples in order to validate these glasses in point of the radiation shielding. Among the present glasses, G6 glass sample has the best shielding capability against gamma radiation.

“…Many efforts have been devoted to study either high purity glasses used for scientific purposes or glasses doped with controlled amounts of environmental wastes used for commercial applications [2][3]. It is known also that the variation of the composition of a glass network affects directly the properties of such glass [4][5][6][7]. Also, the use of different radioactive isotopes in various daily life fields is spread now, and it is known that, for different nuclear radiation sources, special shielding materials are required [8][9][10].…”

By-Pass Cement Dust, as an industrial cement waste, was used to prepare some gamma-ray shielding glasses aiming to protect people and environment from hazard radiations, some phosphate glasses containing different amounts of by-pass cement dust have been prepared by the melt quenching method. The selected molecular composition was [(100-x) % P2O5 -(x) % By-Pass Cement Dust (where x=30,35,…,60)] in steps of five. The obtained experimental density and molar volume values were inspected and were then compared with those obtained empirically for the close packed structure of the corresponding compounds. These comparisons evidenced the short-range order and randomness character of the studied samples. From the IR analysis, different phosphate speeches appeared in the glass networks, as well as some silicate groups appeared in the spectra of all samples due to the presence of considerable amount of SiO2 in by-puss cement dust. Also, the present CaO act to increase Q 2 and Q 1 species as well as to increase the non-bridge oxygen, The tetrahedral are classified using the Q i terminology .where i represent the number of bridging oxygen's per tetrahedron It appeared also that, as by-pass cement dust was increased, the intensities of O-H and H-O-H groups decreased which indicated that CaO (the major constituent of by-pass cement dust) decreases the absorption of water and strengthening the studied samples. The suitability of such glasses to act as gamma-ray shielding materials was also examined and a correlation between the chemical composition (By-Pass Cement Dust content) and gamma-ray attenuation behavior was established.

“…The optical transparency to visible light, easy procurement and production utilization of glasses make them interesting for the researchers to study and research their shielding properties. In this regard, see [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Further, for gamma radiation good protecting ability, and fast and thermal neutron beam absorption, glasses should possess a high absorption cross-section, large atomic number, high density, and light elements in the composition, such as B, Li, for an efficient elastic scattering.…”

In this research, the radiation protection features of bismuth boro-tellurite doped with NdCl 3 glass system in the form of 65B 2 O 3 -12.5Bi 2 O 3 -12.5TeO 2 -(10 − y)Na 2 O-yNdCl 3 with 0 ≤ y ≤ 10 mol% have been investigated by using Phy-X/PSD, XMuDat and XCOM programs. The photon radiation shielding parameters of suggested glasses were calculated in the photon energy range of 0.015-15 MeV. The results showed that the addition of NdCl 3 in the present glass system improves the shielding performance of the glasses system. The obtained results have been plotted and discussed in terms of photon energy. Also, the obtained results were compared together.
