Abstract EN
Theoretical calculations of mass attenuation coefficients, partial interactions, atomic cross-section, and effective atomic numbers of PbO-based silicate, borate, and phosphate glass systems have been investigated at 662 keV.
PbO-based silicate glass has been found with the highest total mass attenuation coefficient and then phosphate and borate glasses, respectively.
Compton scattering has been the dominate interaction contributed to the different total attenuation coefficients in each of the glass matrices.
The silicate and phosphate glass systems are more appropriate choices as lead-based radiation shielding glass than the borate glass system.
Moreover, comparison of results has shown that the glasses possess better shielding properties than standard shielding concretes, suggesting a smaller size requirement in addition to transparency in the visible region.
