We consider a U(1)^\ensuremath' gauge symmetry acting on three generations of right-handed neutrinos. The U(1)^\ensuremath' symmetry is broken at the TeV scale, and its remnant discrete symmetry makes one of the right-handed neutrinos stable. As a natural consequence of the anomaly cancellation, the neutrino mass matrix consists of a combination of type I (TeV scale) seesaw and radiative corrections. The stable right-handed neutrino communicates with the Standard Model via s-channel exchange of the Higgs field and the U(1)^\ensuremath' gauge boson, so that the observed relic density for dark matter is obtained in a wide range of the parameter space. The experimental signatures in collider and other experiments are briefly discussed.
