contents It is known that two heavy Majorana right-handed neutrinos are sufficient to generate the baryon asymmetry in the present universe. Thus, it is interesting to identify the third right-handed neutrino $N$ with the dark matter. We impose a new discrete symmetry $Z_2$ on this dark matter neutrino to stabilize it. However, the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge boson $A'$ couples to the right-handed neutrino $N$. If the $B-L$ breaking scale $V_{B-L}$ is sufficiently low, the dark matter neutrino $N$ can be in the thermal bath. We find that the thermal relic $N$ can explain the dark matter abundance for the $B-L$ breaking scale $ V_{B-L} \sim O(10)\,$TeV. After considering all the constraints from the existing experiments, a narrow mass region of the thermal produced right-handed neutrino dark matter $N$ is still surviving.
