	abstract = {<p>A novel scalable approach combining Monte Carlo Simulation (MS) and the Phy-X/PDS (Phy-X) software program have been developed to investigate the radiation shielding properties of the well-known (CBS-1, 2, and 3) family of glass-ceramics (CaO, B2O3, and SiO2). The linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), half-value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP) and transmission factor (TF) were identified as important parameters controlling the behavior of the CBS shielding family by MS. Phy-X, on the other hand, explored the effective (Zeff) and equivalent (Zeq) atomic numbers, as well as the build-up factors. It was discovered that (CBS-1) and (CBS-3) shielding could be comparable to commercially manufactured glass shielding, and even higher in some cases. Furthermore, CBS-3 demonstrated the greatest shielding ability among the CBS family members, with a maximum LAC value of ~ 38.77~cm-1 at a gamma energy of ~ 0.015~MeV. Our findings pave the way for future research based on the CBS glass family to accelerate the development of shielding materials for high-energy electromagnetic waves.</p>
