In the current study, promising glass composites based on vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 )-doped zinc borate (ZnB) were investigated in terms of their nuclear-radiation-shielding dynamics. The mass and linear attenuation coefficient, half-value layer, mean free path, tenth-value layer, effective atomic number, exposure-buildup factor, and energy-absorption-buildup factor were deeply simulated by using MCNPX code, Phy-X PSD code, and WinXcom to study the validation of ZBV1, ZBV2, ZBV3, and ZBV4 based on (100-x)(0.6ZnO-0.4B 2 O 3 )(x)(V 2 O 5 ) (x = 1, 2, 3, 4 mol%) samples against ionizing radiation. The results showed that attenuation competencies of the studied glasses slightly changed while increasing the V 2 O 5 content from 1 mol% to 4 mol%. The domination of ZnO concentration in the composition compared to B 2 O 3 makes ZnO substitution with V 2 O 5 more dominant, leading to a decrease in density. Since density has a significant role in the attenuation of gamma rays, a negative effect was observed. It can be concluded that the aforementioned substitution can negatively affect the shielding competencies of studied glasses.
