Disclosed is a chemically bonded oxide-phosphate ceramic having unique radiation shielding properties. A composition and method for forming a radiation shielding member at ambient temperature, the composition comprising a “low temperature fired” chemically bonded oxide-phosphate ceramic cement matrix and one or more radiation shielding. Compositions and methods wherein the material is suitably prepared and dispersed in said "low temperature fired" chemical binding oxide-phosphate ceramic cement material. This radiation shielding material is barite, barium oxide, barium sulfate, cerium oxide, tungsten oxide, gadolinium oxide, depleted uranium oxide, annealed 40% -75% leaded glass powder and fiber, zeolite, clinoptilolite , And celestite.
