Analyses of 114 soil samples in Ningbo City show that, in general, there are statistical differences of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁴⁰K contents between every layers; the other kinds of natural radionuclides present an increasing tendency with depth. When the γ radiation dose rate is estimated by Beck Formula, owing to the effect of those nonuniform distributions is less than 1% and can be ignored.
