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 operated at full power throughout the month with the exception of load drops for short periods to reverse circulating water flow, and an unplanned load drop on August 27, to approximately 850 MWe to gain margin on demin flows for backwash of 1 H demin.
B. Unit Two Unit Two entered the month of August at approximately 91% power pending resolution of issues associated with the steam dryer failure. On August 17, Unit Two began a planned load drop In preparation for flow reversal. Also, on August 17, power was reduced to 780 MWe due to the discovery of a leak on the 2B Condensate/Condensate Booster Pump. Unit Two operated the remainder of the month at full power with the exception of planned load drops to support Main Condenser flow reversal.
