Radiation shielding characteristics of a newly developed tellurite glasses containing Sb2O3 and V2O5 in energy range from 0.1 to 10 MeV are reported in this work. A FLUKA simulation along with a suitable theoretical model is carried out to examine the shielding performance of the involved glass system against gamma, neutron, and charged-particles radiations. HVLs of the TSP glasses vary in order of TSP-D < TSP-C < TSP-B < TSP-A, whereas both Zeff values and Neff values have the following tend: TSP-A < TSP-B < TSP-C < TSP-D. TSP-D has the biggest µen/ρ values in the present TSP glasses. Ranges of electron, proton, alpha, and carbon enhance by stages as energy rises. The ∑ R value of TSP-A is the highest among the TSP glasses. Penetration depth values boost as the neutron energy increases, whereas total cross-section values descend as the energy enhances. We found that the addition of Sb2O3 content plays an important role to evolve the shielding ability against gamma and thermal-neutron radiations; however, the Sb2O3 addition has no significant influence on the shielding ability against charged-particles and fast-neutron radiations. Therefore, the suggested glass system showed a potential use in the radiation application whether this is in a hospital or any nuclear facility.
