Abstract
The radiation shielding is important for human health as it is hazardous for cell. New material development is under research for alternative shielding materials. Thus 57.6TeO2–38.4ZnO–4NiO system was developed and its shielding capacity were inspected. The variation of the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) and some other parameters such as half value length (HVL), mean free path (mfp), effective atomic number (Zeff) and Effective electron density (Neff) were studied. The Phy-X/PSD program was utilized for this purpose
