2 Resnonse A full-load test of both emergency diesels will be conducted prior to the completion of the next refueling outage.
For purposes of this tes-c, full load will be defined as the maximum kW or kVA rating of the generator, which-ever is reaci1ed first.
It should be no-ced tnat the Palisades Plant Technical Specifications do not allow the loading of the diesel generators beyond the continuous full-load rating (2500 kW).
