Going back to that definition of ALARP I can quite easily see - given the wriggle room - how the RAF or the MoD could have said as far as we are concerned the aircraft is ALARP. But what happened here is not that. What happened here is that Des Browne said an independent report by QinetiQ had declared the fuel system safe, and if the risk has to be ALARP for the system to be safe, which is what the defence standards document says, then QinetiQ most definitely didn't do that.
