UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 June 18, 2012 Mr. Michael J. Pacilio Senior Vice President, Exelon Generation Company, LLC President and Chief Nuclear Officer (CNO), Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, BIENNIAL PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

This letter is to request information to support our biennial Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R) inspection beginning August 13, 2012, at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Baseline Inspection Procedure 71152.

Experience has shown that these inspections are extremely resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the utility staff. In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a list of documents required for the inspection.

The documents requested are copies of performance reports and lists of information necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The documents should be ready for NRC review by July 30, 2012. Mr. Bob Orlikowski, the Lead Inspector, will contact your staff to determine the best method of providing the requested information.

If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail Mr. Orlikowski at 630-829-9753 or Robert.Orlikowski@nrc.gov.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, Control Number 3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget Control Number.

M. Pacilio In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA by Robert Orlikowski For/
