[en] Two thousand spots over Shandong Province (one in each 10 kM mesh) were chosen for determination of natural radiation level and the absorbtion dose of the population. Crystal scintillation radiometer scaled with spherical shape ionization chamber was used in the determination. The air absorbtion dose rate of natural penetrating radiation of the indoor, outdoor and the road in each spot was determined. The range and mean figure are as follows respectively: (10.8 - 34.8) x 10^-8 Gy.h^-1 and 14.5 x 10^-8 Gy.h^-1 for indoor; (4.8 - 25.8) x 10^-8 Gy.h^-1 and 10.8 x 10^-8 Gy.h^-1 for outdoor; (4.0 - 31.6) x 10^-8 Gy.h^-1 and 10.2 x 10^-8 Gy.h^-1 for road. The mean annual effective dose equivalent of each person in the province is estimated to be 9.18 x 10^-4 SV, and that of the collective to be 6.82 x 10^-4 man SV
