70% to pass

On a MODU, each emergency generator must be tested at least once each _______________.

A week
B month
C three months
D six months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) month. The requirement for testing each emergency generator on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) at least once each month is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 111.15-5. This regulation states that each emergency generator must be tested under load for at least 2 hours at least once each month. The other options are incorrect because weekly testing (A) is not required, and testing every three (C) or six (D) months would not meet the regulatory requirement for monthly testing.
