- 1. 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 continued to run at approximately 780 MWe due to ongoing Extended Power Uprate (EPU) evaluation. A planned load decrease occurred on April 25, 2004, to approximately 600 MWe for Control Rod Pattern Adjustment and Scram Timing.
B. Unit Two Unit Two operated the month of April at approximately 800 MWe due to ongoing EPU issues, with the exception of a planned load decrease to approximately 500 MWe on April 1, 2004, for a Control Rod Pattern Adjustment. On April 7, 2004, a planned load increase to approximately 912 MWe for EPU data collection and a planned load decrease to approximately 740 MWe for a Control Rod Pattern Adjustment occurred. Unit Two continued to be limited to approximately 800 MWe due to ongoing EPU evaluations.
