Question

If screening calculations indicate that the risk is below risk levels of concern, a quantitative uncertainty analysis may not be necessary for site.

(a) False

(b) True

The question was posed to me in a job interview.

This intriguing question comes from Risk Management in section Risk Management of Hazardous Waste Management

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) True

For explanation I would say: Detailed analyses will indicate the true risk is even less than initially estimated because screening calculations are designed to provide a risk estimate that is highly improbable to underestimate the true risk.
