DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, NRC AGING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM INSPECTION REPORT 05000237/2003010(DRS); 05000249/2003010(DRS); 05000254/2003014(DRS);

Dear Mr. Skolds:

On October 22, 2003, the NRC completed an inspection regarding your application for license renewal for your Dresden and Quad Cities facilities. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on October 22, 2003, with members of your staff in an exit meeting open for public observation at the Exelon Midwest Regional Operating Group offices in Warrenville, IL.

The purpose of this inspection was an examination of activities that support your application for a renewed license for the Dresden and Quad Cities facilities. The inspection consisted of a selected examination of procedures and representative records, and interviews with personnel regarding the implementation of your aging management programs to support license renewal.

For a sample of plant systems, inspectors performed visual examination of accessible portions of the systems to observe any effects of equipment aging.

The inspection concluded that your license renewal activities were conducted as described in your License Renewal Application and that documentation supporting your application is in an auditable and retrievable form. The inspection also concluded that existing aging management programs are functioning adequately and that when all the programs are implemented as described in your License Renewal Application, there is reasonable assurance that the intended functions of vital plant systems, structures, and components will be maintained through the period of extended operation.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS).

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Laura C. Kozak at 630-829-9604.

Sincerely,

/RA by Roy Caniano Acting for/
