## 4 Conclusions  
Nd\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\)-doped glasses, among the technologically important lanthanide-doped glasses, are studied frequently due to their luminescence and optical properties. Moreover, among these studies, TeO\({}_{2}\) glasses are mostly preferred due to their excellent optical properties. Being synthesized at low temperatures is one of the many advantages of these glasses. On the other hand, vanadium-doped tellurium glasses with semiconducting properties are considered valuable materials for semiconductor technology and optoelectronic materials such as lasers with the addition of Nd\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\). Apart from these advantageous properties, these glasses' radiation properties were investigated in detail in this study. We aimed to perform a sizeable simulated characterization on a different type of Nd\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\), reinforced glasses and their nuclear radiation shielding properties regarding an ideal shield's essential needs. The effect of varying the ratio of boron (III) oxide and neodymium (III) oxide concentrations on the radiation shielding properties of TeO\({}_{2}\)-V\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{5}\)-(B\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\)/Nd\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\)) were illustrated. The attenuation properties computed at expansive energies within the range of (0.015-15) \(\times\) 10\({}^{+3}\) keV. Some critical properties, such as T\({}_{1/2}\), \(\lambda\), TVL, \(\mu\), \(\mu_{m}\), \(Z_{\mathit{eff}}\), EBF, and EABF were determined. Simulated and theoretical \(\mu_{\mathrm{m}}\) values were obtained using the MXNPX code and the Phy-X PSD database. Good agreement was observed between the simulated and theoretical results. Generally, the VTBNd1.5 sample (1.5 mol%) Nd\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\) had the lowest T\({}_{1/2}\), \(\lambda\), and TVL values and the highest \(\mu\), \(\mu_{m}\), and \(Z_{\mathit{eff}}\) values. That means that the VTBNd1.5 sample (with 1.5 mol% Nd\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\)) offers superior shielding against gamma radiation compared to the other samples. The results showed that radiation shielding properties increase according to the doping ratio. As a result of this study, it can be concluded that continuous research is needed in terms of glass sciences and material development studies. The effect of reinforcement was apparent. However, different types of comprehensive investigations with varying additive amounts can be considered as the continuous research of our project on eco-friendly novel shields.
