i. INTRODUCTION Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station is composed of two Boiling Water Reactors and Steam Turbine/Generators, each with a Maximum Dependable Capacity of 769 MWe Net, located in Cordova, Illinois. The Station is jointly owned by Exelon Nuclear and MidAmerican Energy Company. The Nuclear Steam Supply Systems are General Electric Company Boiling Water Reactors. The Architect! Engineer was Sargent & Lundy, Incorporated, and the primary construction contractor was United Engineers & Constructors. The Mississippi River is the condenser cooling water source. The plant is subject to license numbers DPR-29 and DPR-30, issued October 1, 1971, and March 21, 1972, respectively; pursuant to Docket Numbers 50-254 and 50-265. The date of initial Reactor criticalities for Units One and Two, respectively were October 18,1971, and April 26,1972. Commercial generation of power began on February 18, 1973 for Unit One and March 10, 1973 for Unit Two.

This report was compiled by Ron Baumer and Debbie Cline, telephone numbers 309-227-2811 and 2801, respectively.

SUMMARY

OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE A.

Unit One Unit One operated the month of March at full power with the exception of a downpower on March 15, 2002 to approximately 790 MWe for planned turbine generator testing..

B.

Unit Two Unit Two started the month of March shutdown for refuel outage Q2R16. Unit 2 restarted on March 04, 2002 and achieved full power of 912 MWe on March 14, 2002. The unit operated at full power for the remainder of the month until a planned maintenance outage (Q2M17) shutdown on March 29, 2002. The unit was shutdown for the remainder of the month.

Unit Two restarted with EPU modifications installed. The new Power Level is 2957 (MW th), and Design Electrical Rating of 912 (MWe - Net). The Maximum Dependable Capacity has not been calculated. It will be provided at a later date.
