While technological developments in the modern world offer many opportunities that make human life easier, they also bring various health risks. One of these risks is radiation. Today, radiation is widely used in many areas, such as industry, medicine, agriculture, and nuclear energy production. Although it significantly contributes to social life, exposure can cause various health problems. To protect from the harmful effects of radiation, it is inevitable to research new shielding materials. This study determined the LAC, MAC, HVL, MFP, and Zeff values, which are essential parameters in radiation shielding calculations of the glass system with a chemical content of 65B2O3–35Bi2O3. The research results showed that LAC and MAC values decreased with increasing energy, HVL and MFP values showed a decreasing trend at high energies, and Zeff values increased.
