This report provides the radiation dose assessments for the Department of Defense shore-based population of interest that was potentially exposed to radioactive fallout resulting from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station units' radiological releases that followed the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. The associated Department of Defense disaster relief operation to the citizens of Japan was entitled, "Operation Tomodachi." Finalized radiation dose assessments for the population of interest should be loaded into an Operation Tomodachi Registry by the end of 2012, which will support public inquiries.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

Kingman Road, Mail Stop 6201 Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-6201 SPONSOR/MONITOR'S ACRONYM(S)DTRA RD-NTSN SPONSORING/MONITORING AGENCY REPORT NUMBER DISTRIBUTION AVAILABILITY STATEMENTApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACTThis report provides detailed descriptions of the 32 proposed Expedited Processing Groups (EPGs) developed using the procedures and methods discussed in DTRA-TR-10-29, A Technical Approach to Expedited Processing of NTPR Radiation Dose Assessments. The discussion of each EPG includes the assumptions used in selecting units and participants included in each group; a description of the activities with potential for radiation exposure; the characteristics of the radiation environments that may have been encountered; and a description of efforts to "maximize" the estimated doses. It provides estimated doses and upper bounds for exposure to external and internal sources of radiation to the whole body and to 20 organs and tissues. The report also provides recommendations about the use of certain organ doses in the expedited dose reconstruction process. SUBJECT TERMS
