SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission continued monitoring licensees performance by conducting an Emergency Preparedness Inspection at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Plant,

Units 1 and 2, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.

List of Findings and Violations No findings or violations were identified.

Additional Tracking Items None

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs)in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.

Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

REACTOR SAFETY

71114.01Exercise Evaluation

The inspectors evaluated the December 4, 2018, Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise.

The exercise scenario simulated an event in Rock Island County that initiated with a declaration of an Unusual Event in response to a malfunction of plant equipment. The scenario conditions simulated the escalation of the significance of the event, requiring the declaration and notification of an Alert, a Site Area Emergency, and then a General Emergency, as well as the development of Protective Action Recommendations that were communicated to the required state and local government agencies.
