| Summary: | This paper studies on the theoretical ionizing radiation shielding parameter for the glass of {[(TeO2)0.7 (B2O3)0.3]0.7 [ZnO]0.3}1-x {CeO2}x by using two software; WinXCOM and Phy-X software, which investigate the ability of cerium oxide. The investigation revealed that the 5CeZBTe glass sample, which included the greatest concentration of CeO2 (0.05 mol), showed the greatest linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) and least values in Half Value Layer (HVL) and Mean Free Path (MFP). These results suggest that 5CeZBTe glass has significant potential as an alternative to traditional lead-based radiation shielding, offering a safer environment for both patients and healthcare professionals in medical settings. © 2025, S.C.
