PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electron beam sterilization method for equalizing an absorbed dose in an irradiated object in an electron beam sterilization method for sterilizing or sterilizing an irradiated object by irradiating the irradiated object with an electron beam. SOLUTION: This is an electron beam sterilization method in which an object to be irradiated is irradiated with an electron beam to sterilize or sterilize the object to be irradiated, and the object to be irradiated is irradiated with the electron beam from at least two directions to shield the electron beam. An irradiation dose adjusting plate 20 having a region SA in which the shielding material is arranged and an region SB in which the shielding material is not arranged is arranged between the electron beam extraction window of the electron beam irradiator and the irradiated object, and the irradiation dose is described. An electron beam sterilization method, which comprises irradiating an object to be irradiated with an electron beam via an adjusting plate 20.
