Abstract :
In the present paper, we have reviews on the fundamentals study of the radiation interactions with materials and point out to development of lead free radiation shielding glass based on bismuth and barium in different glass formers. Beside all mentioned usefulness of the new materials, the development of lead-free radiation protecting glass is also leave non-toxically impact to our environment.
