The radiation shielding characteristics of samples from two TeO 2 and Sb 2 O 3 -based basic glass groups were investigated in this research. TeO 2 and Sb 2 O 3 -based glasses were determined in the research as six samples with a composition of 10WO 3 -(x)MoO 3 -(90 - x)(TeO 2 /Sb 2 O 3 ) (x = 10, 20, 30). A general purpose MCNPX Monte Carlo code and Phy-X/PSD platform were used to estimate the radiation shielding characteristics. Accordingly, the linear and mass attenuation coefficients, half value layer, mean free path, variation of the effective atomic number with photon energy, exposure and built-up energy factors, and effective removal cross-section values were determined. It was determined that the results that were produced using the two different techniques were consistent. Based on the collected data, the most remarkable findings were found to be associated with the sample classified as T80 (10WO 3 + 10MoO 3 + 80TeO 2 ). The current study showed that material density was as equally important as composition in modifying radiation shielding characteristics. With the T80 sample with the greatest density (5.61 g/cm 3 ) achieving the best results. Additionally, the acquired findings were compared to the radiation shielding characteristics of various glass and concrete materials. Increasing the quantity of MoO 3 additive, a known heavy metal oxide, in these TeO 2 and Sb 2 O 3 -based glasses may have a detrimental impact on the change in radiation shielding characteristics.
