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 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 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 of November at full power until November 3, 2003 when power was reduced to approximately 780 MWe to support an unplanned load drop due to increased moisture carry-over. The Turbine was then taken off line on November 12, 2003 for Steam Dryer repairs due to the increased moisture carry-over and remained off line until November 30, 2003 when Unit One was synchronized to the grid.
B. Unit Two Unit Two remained at full power throughout the reporting period with the exception of a planned load drop on November 9, 2003 to approximately 750 MWe for Control Rod Drive Pattern Adjustment.
