I. INTRODUCTION Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station is composed of two Boiling Water Reactors and Steam Turbine/Generators located in Cordova, Illinois. Unit One has a Maximum Dependable Capacity of 855 MWe Net, and Unit Two has a Maximum Dependable Capacity of 855 MWe Net. 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 Architec 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 dates of initial Reactor criticality for Units One and Two were October 18, 1971, and April 26, 1972, respectively. Commercial generation of power began on February 18, 1973, for Unit One and March 10, 1973, for Unit Two.

SUMMARY
OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE A. Unit One Unit One began the month at full power with the exception of a planned load drop to approximately 820 MWe on May 4, 2003 to perform intermediate control rod exercising. On May 20, 2003, Unit One began shutdown activities to support Q1 Ml 6, a planned reactor shutdown to replace 233 fuel bundles due to fuel leaks, with the Unit retuming to service on May 31, 2003.
B. Unit Two Unit Two began the month at full power with the exception of a planned load drop on May 3, 2003 to approximately 740 MWe for a puff test to verify fuel leakage. On May 8, 2003, Unit Two shut down to replace 3B and 3E PORVs due to high tailpipe temperatures. Unit Two initiated power ascension activities on May 11, 2003. Unit Two increased power to approximately 640 MWe on May 12, 2003, then load was decreased to approximately 420 MWe for Control Rod Maneuvers. Power ascension then resumed until full power on May 14, 2003. A load drop occurred on May 24, 2003 to approximately 540 MWe for Planned Power Suppression Testing. The Unit was returned to full power on May 27, 2003. On May 28, 2003, excess moisture carryover levels were identified and load was decreased to approximately 811 MWe for the remainder of the month.
