1. A physical condition or release of hazardous material that could result from

Limitation of any negative consequence or reduction in probability of a particular event. (a) Mitigation (b) Reduction (c) Residual (a) Mitigation 3. Methods that use engineering judgment and experience as the bases for the analysis of probabilities and consequences of failure.

An analysis that identifies and delineates the combinations of events and estimates the frequency of occurrence for each combination and estimates the consequences. (a) Quantitative risk analysis (b) Qualitative risk analysis (c) Process hazard analysis (b) Qualitative risk analysis 5. (blank) uses logic models depicting combinations of events. (a) Quantitative risk analysis (b) Qualitative risk analysis (c) Process hazard analysis (a) Quantitative risk analysis (b) Qualitative risk analysis (c) Process hazard analysis 6. Quantitative risk analysis logic models generally consist of (blank) and (blank) (a) Event tree and fault tree (b) Product trees and loss tree (c) Likelihood trees and consequence trees (a) Event tree and fault tree
7. (blank) delineate initiating events and combinations of systems successes and
failures (a) Event tree (b) Fault trees (c) Logic trees (a) Event tree 8. The accuracy of any type of RBI analysis depends on what? (a) Sound methodology (b) Quality data (c) Knowledgeable personnel (b) Quality data 9. Fault trees depict what? The system failures represented in the event can occur. 10. The susceptibility of each equipment item should be clearly defined for current and projected operating conditions including what factors? (a) Normal operation (b) Upset conditions (c) Normal start up and shut down (d) Idle or out-of-service timer (e) Emergency shutdown and subsequent start-up 11. Regardless of whether a more qualitative or a quantitative analysis is used, the POF is determined by two main considerations: a) Damage mechanisms and rates of the equipment item's material of construction, resulting from its operating environment (internal and external); b) Effectiveness of the inspection program to identify and monitor the damage mechanisms so that the equipment can be repaired or replaced prior to failure. 12. Analyzing the effect of in-service deterioration and inspection on the POF involves the following steps. a) Identify active and credible damage mechanisms that are reasonably expected to occur during the time period being considered (considering normal and upset conditions). b) Determine the deterioration susceptibility and rate. For example, a fatigue crack is driven by cyclic stress; corrosion damage is driven by the temperature, concentration of corrosive, corrosion current, etc. A damage accumulation rule may be available to mathematically model this process. Rather than a given value of the magnitude of the damage mechanism driving forces, a statistical distribution of these forces may be available (see API 579-1/ASME FF2-1). c) Using a consistent approach, quantifies the effectiveness of the past inspection, maintenance and process-monitoring program and a proposed future inspection, maintenance and process-monitoring program. It is usually
necessary to evaluate the POF considering several alternative future
inspection and maintenance strategies, possibly including a "no inspection or maintenance" strategy. d) Determine the probability that with the current condition, continued deterioration at the predicted/expected rate will exceed the damage tolerance of the equipment and result in a failure. The failure mode (e.g. small leak, large leak, equipment rupture) should also be determined based on the damage mechanism. It may be desirable in some cases to determine the probability of more than one failure mode and combine the risks.
