ABSTRACT = {This paper presents a novel low-cost phosphate glass preparation by using the melt 
quenching technique. It was investigated for use in diagnostic protective applications. The 
range of UV-VIS wavelength is used to estimate the optical energy gap. The MAC denotes 
the mass attenuation coefficients of the present glass were computed at low photon 
energies between 15 and 200 KeV using the MIKE program. The manufactured glasses 
parameters viz; the mean free path, half value layer, tenth value layer, effective atomic 
number, effective electron density, and linear attenuation coefficient denotes as follows; 
MFP, HVL, TVL, Z<sub>eff</sub>, N<sub>eff</sub>, and LAC were determined. Furthermore, the molar volume, 
oxygen molar volume, and optical packing density of fabricated glass were assessed. The 
third-order susceptibility (χ<sup>(3</sup>
) and non-linear refractive index of the present glass were 
determined. From previous results, it can be concluded that the glass has unique 
attenuation characteristics, therefore, can be used for radiation protection at low energy 15 
to 200 KeV. },
