Viktoria Mitlyng, 630-829-9662 Prema Chandrathil, 630-829-9663 NRC to Discuss 2024 Performance of Quad Cities Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will discuss the 2024 safety performance of the Quad Cities nuclear power plant during an in-person open house April 30. The two-unit plant, in Cordova, Illinois, is operated by Constellation Energy.
The open house will be held from 4-5 p.m. Central at the Port Byron Municipal Building Board Room in Port Byron. Members of the public will have an opportunity to speak directly with NRC staff.
The NRC will discuss its assessment of the plants 2024 performance. Staff responsible for plant inspection and oversight, including the resident inspectors based at the site, will be available to address any regulatory or technical questions and concerns.
Overall, the NRC determined that Quad Cities operated safely during 2024. All inspection findings and performance indicators were green or very low safety significance. As a result, the plant remains under the NRCs baseline level of oversight, which entails thousands of hours of inspection each year.
The NRC has identified a cross-cutting issue in the area of human performance. The issue will remain open until the causes have been identified and a plan has been developed to address them. The NRC will conduct follow-up reviews and document the conclusions in a public report.
A cross-cutting issue is a trend referring to behaviors and decisions that resulted in performance deficiencies in plant operations. The NRC identifies a cross-cutting issue to inform the licensee that the NRC has a concern and to encourage appropriate actions be taken before more significant performance issues emerge.
Plant inspections are performed by two NRC resident inspectors and inspection specialists from the agencys Region III Office in Naperville, Illinois.
The annual assessment letter for Quad Cities is available on the NRC website. Current performance information for Unit 1 and Unit 2 is also available on the NRC website and updated on a quarterly basis.
