FOR INFORMATION FOR POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE
RENEWALPHASE IV; INSPECTION REPORT 05000254/2022010;
Dear Mr. Rhoades:
On November 14, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin an
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71003 (Phase IV). This onsite inspection is
scheduled to be performed November 14, 2022 through November 18, 2022.
The purpose of the inspection is to review the implementation of the Aging Management
Program (AMP) elements during the Period of Extended Operation. The inspection team will
select for review a sample of the sites AMPs.
This Request for Information is separated into three Sections (A, B and C). Section A
information will be used to facilitate the AMP sample selections. The team leader will make
AMP selections and inform the licensee. Based on these selections, the licensee will provide
the additional information requested under Section B. This information will be used as part of

to the inspectors during the on-site week of inspection. See the table below for specific dates:
Requested Action: Date:
Section A Information October 3, 2022
Section B Information October 17, 2022
Section C Information November 14, 2022
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspector and
your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources, and to ensure a productive
inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.
It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date, and complete, in order to minimize the
number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portion of
the inspection.

QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION-REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
FOR THE UPCOMING POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL
(PHASE IV)
Inspection Procedure: IP 71003, Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal
(Phase IV)
Inspection Dates: November 14-18, 2022 (on-site)

Lead Inspector: Matthew Domke, Reactor Inspector
On November 14, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Post-
Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal (Phase IV) at Quad Cities Nuclear Generating
Station. The purpose of the inspection is to review the implementation of the aging
management program elements during the Period of Extended Operation (PEO). The
inspection team will select for review a sample of the sites Aging Management Programs
(AMPs).
This Request for Information (RFI) is separated into three Sections, A, B, and C. Inspectors will

and implementation. Requests under Section C should be available to the inspectors during the
on-site inspection week.
Requested Action: Date:
Section A Information October 3, 2022
Section B Information October 17, 2022
Section C Information November 14, 2022
A. Information Requested to Facilitate AMP Sample Selection

(2) Provide copies of corporate and/or site-specific program document/procedure related
to overall aging management program.
(3) Provide list of AMPs that were new or enhanced in the License Renewal Application
(LRA).
(4) Provide list of AMPs that had commitment changes since entering the PEO.
(5) Provide list of AMPs that have incorporated newly identified structures, systems, and
