The study of radiation absorption in material is an important subject to protect living creatures and environment from harmful effect of radiation. The degree to which gamma radiation is attenuated is dependent upon the energy of the incident gamma radiation, the thickness of the shielding, the atomic number and density of the elements in the shielding material. In this respect, this study presents the attenuating properties of some (Ag-Cu-Sn Alloys) by using the Nation Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) XCOM code in the energy range (0.01 to 10 MeV).
