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 entered the month of December at approximately 780 MWe pending vibration analysis following repair of the steam dryer. The Unit remained at this level until December 20, 2003 when Unit One was taken off-line to repair vibration monitoring equipment in the drywell. Following repair, Unit One synchronized to the grid on December 21, 2003. Unit One remained at approximately 780 MWe until December 30, 2003 when load was increased to 912 MWe for planned testing and then decreased to approximately 780 MWe for the remainder of the period.

B. Unit Two Unit Two remained at full power throughout the reporting period.
