The Bi sub(2) O sub(3) doped with soda lime borosilicate glasses in composition xBi sub(2) O sub(3): 15Na sub(2) O : 10CaO : 20B sub(2) O sub(3): (55-x)SiO sub(2) at different concentrations (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 mol%) were studied the photon interactions. The total mass attenuation coefficient, coherent, incoherent, photoelectric absorption and pair production of prepared were studies using WinXcom Program at 1keV to 2MeV. The result of total mass attenuation coefficient and photoelectric absorption were decreases but discontinue because of photoelectric absorption edge at low energy. The photoelectric effect shows the main interaction at the low energy and decrease with increasing of photon energy. The higher photon energy the incoherent scattering found to be the main interaction. But at the photon energy 1.022 MeV, the pair production will be occurs and found to be the main interaction at the photon energy higher than 1.022 MeV.
