Abstract: In order to clarify the background value of soil radioactivity in Dandong area, representative soil in Dandong area was used as research object, and the specific activities of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in 0-10 cm soil layer were measured by RMS 4096-USB digital low background multichannel r spectrometer. Results were evaluated by Nemero comprehensive evaluation method. The results show that the average specific activities of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in 0-10 cm soil layer in Dandong area are 100.12 Bq·kg-1, 11.84 Bq·kg-1 and 688.65 Bq·kg-1 respectively. And the Nemero comprehensive index is 3.17, 0.35, 1.07, which is at a high level in Liaoning province and at a normal level in the whole country.

Key words: Dandong city, soil, background value, natural radioactivity
