Abstract
This chapter summarizes the shielding properties by simulation for tellurite glasses to show their superior properties. The radiation shielding properties of the present glasses such properties as density, shielding parameters: mass attenuation coefficient, μ/ρ , line attenuation coefficient, μ, effective atomic numbers, Z eff, half value layers, HVL, mean free path, MFP and Exposure buildup factors, EBF have been collected. Values of the mass attenuation coefficient have been computed using WinXCOM program.
