The inspection of radiation shielding specimens in the composition xBaO : (40-x)SiO 2 : 25ZnO : 30B 2 O 3 : 5Al 2 O 3 , where x = 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 mol % of borosilicate glasses went on to radiation shielding parameters, found that the MAC, the Z eff , the atomic cross-section, and the electronic cross-section have the same trends when added BaO increase, but when the energy increases, all values of the four parameters decreased with increasing of the energy ranges. The result of N e was described as the atomic radius of BaO that affects the probability of interactions in the Compton scattering ranges. The results of HVL and MFP demonstrated that the lower both parameters affected volume requirement and decreased the average distance when photon traveled in the material, which can design the physical characteristic of the radiation shielding specimens.
