SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000254/2016006; 05000265/2016006)

Dear Mr. Hanson:

The NRC has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix, because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the expected range (i.e., Green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2018.

The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last twelve months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

This inspection plan does not include the plan for security-related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.

In addition to the baseline inspection, the NRC inspection schedule includes an infrequently performed inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 60853, On-Site Fabrication of Components and Construction of an ISFSI [Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation], an infrequently performed inspection in accordance with IP 60855.1, Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants, and a Temporary Instruction in accordance with TI 2515/191, Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigating Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communications/Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Please contact me at 630-829-9731 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA/
