Melt and quench technique was used for the preparation of glassy samples of the composition 0.40 MO-0.60 B₂O₃ where MO contains oxides of lithium, sodium, potassium and bismuth. XCOM computer program is used for the evaluation of gamma-ray shielding parameters of the prepared glass samples. Further the values of   mass attenuation coefficients and effective atomic number at various photon energies is calculated.  Values of half value layers have been compared with concretes. Density and molar volume studies have been carried out to get the idea regarding rigidity of glass network
