D. A total Risk Assessment
ANSWER
A
Which of the following is not true concerning implementation of RBI implementation plans
to manage risks on an equipment level?
A. RBI will identify equipment that does not require inspection of some other form of mitiga-
tion because of the acceptable level of risk associated with the equipment's current opera-
tion
B. Required inspection activities will reduce the consequence of failure
C. It will provide an acceptance/understanding of the current risk level
D. It will result in an overall reduction in risk for the facilities and/or equipment
