NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-254 and 50-265]
Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Amendments
to Facility Operating Licenses
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 202 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-29 and
Amendment No. 198 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-30, issued to
Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), which revised the
Operating License (OL) and Technical Specifications (TS) for operation
of the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (QCNPS) located
in Rock Island County, Illinois. The amendment is effective as of the
date of issuance.
The amendment modified the OL and TS to allow an increase of the
authorized operating power level from 2511 megawatts thermal (MWt) to
2957 MWt at QCNPS. The change represents an increase of approximately
17.8 percent above the current rated thermal power and is considered an
extended power uprate.
The application for the amendment complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules
and regulations in 10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in the license
amendment.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to Facility
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this
action was published in the Federal Register on November 19, 2001 (66
FR 57990). No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene
was filed following this notice.
The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has
concluded that the issuance of the amendment will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (66 FR
65759).
Further details with respect to the action may be found in (1) the
application for amendment dated December 27, 2000, as supplemented by
