Abstract
Computer simulation is an important and valuable method to obtain any paramaters from engineering to medical sciences. Using radiation in technology required extra care in order not to be exposed especially for ionizing raidation. Monte Carlo simulation is an easy method to obtain radiation shielding properties of any materials. The glass materials are widely used and thus their some properties should be investigated. In the present work, the gamma-neutron shielding properties of boron-oxide glasses were calculated using Phy-X/PSD code. The composition of gass samples formualted as (45-x)SiO2+xB2O3+24.5Na2O+24.5CaO+6P2O5 (where x ranged from 0, 1, 3 and 5 mol% steps) and used in this study.
