This study investigates the radiation shielding properties of a glass sample composed of 57.6TeO2–38.4ZnO–4NiO. The sample's shielding capacity was evaluated using parameters such as the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), half-value length (HVL), mean free path (mfp), effective atomic number (Zeff), and effective electron density (Neff). The results show that the LAC values decrease with increasing gamma ray energies, consistent with previous studies. The HVL and mfp values are similar, and the Zeff and Neff values exhibit a similar trend. The findings suggest that the 57.6TeO2–38.4ZnO–4NiO system has potential as an alternative shielding material, offering a viable option for radiation protection.This study investigates the radiation shielding properties of a glass sample composed of 57.6TeO2–38.4ZnO–4NiO.
