SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

On August 5, 2010, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information.

A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only--Security Information" will include the Security Cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.

Plant performance for the most recent quarter at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC

=s Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through December 31, 2011. The inspections scheduled include: independent spent fuel storage installation, post approval license renewal, component design basis, initial and requalification licensed operator examinations, emergency preparedness, and outage related inspections. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last 9 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review.
