.F-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 continued to operate throughout the reporting period at approximately 770 MWe due to ongoing Extended Power Uprate (EPU) evaluations.
B. Unit Two Unit Two continued to operate at approximately 800 MWe due to ongoing EPU evaluations, with the exception of two load drops. On October 3, 2004, a planned load reduction occurred to approximately 700 MWe to support Control Rod Shuffle, Scram Timing and Out of Service Rod Recovery.
In addition, on October 28, 2004, an unplanned load reduction occurred to approximately 765 MWe due to a degraded hydraulic hose on the 2A Feed Water Regulator Valve actuator. Unit Two was returned to approximately 800 MWe on October 29, 2004, and remained at this level for the remainder of the month.
