Subject:

Monthly Operating Report for August 2002 In accordance with Technical Specifications, Section 5.6.4, "Monthly Operating Reports," we are submitting this Monthly Operating Report for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS), Units 1 and 2.

Additionally, QCNPS has implemented the relaxation designated in NRC Generic Letter 97-02, "Revised Contents of the Monthly Operating Report," which allowed a reduction in information that was being submitted in the Monthly Operating Report.

These changes are and will be reflected in this and future reports.

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mr. Wally Beck at (309) 227-2800.

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 769 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 the month of August at full power except for a planned reactor shutdown (to repair the HPCI steam supply valve packing leak) that occurred from August 2, 0100, to August 3, 2229, with full power being achieved on August 8 at 0055. A planned load drop occurred on August 11 to 630 MWe until 1345 for post-startup rod pattern adjustments. Another planned load drop occurred on August 18 to 700 MWe until 0910 for rod maneuvers to maintain full power capability.

B. Unit Two Unit Two operated the month of August at full power with the exception of planned load drops on August 2, 4 and 6 for condenser flow reversal; and a planned load drop to 760 MWe on August 10 from 0008 to 1350 to remove the 2B reactor feed pump from service.
