Hi All,

Thanks to everyone for all the great information on the nuclear reactor records - what a great resource you all are???  I'm still reading all the information but am probably going with 10 years after the end of the decommissioning as the retention for the records.

And now for something completely different (nod to Monty Python):
I'd like to get in touch with records managers from pharmaceutical companies.  We have some issues with the retention of clinical trial records (participant and administrative).  My understanding is the FDA has a retention of 2 years after the drug is approved/withdrawn, but we receive letters after the end of trials indicating anywhere from 5-25 years from the pharmaceutical company (and sometimes different time periods from the same company).  I'd like to connect with a records manager who can explain the pharmaceutical side of this to me, I'd greatly appreciate it - please email me offline ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).

Also if there any other Universities or Hospitals who do clinical trials and have figured this out, please contact me as well.

Thanks very much,
Caroline
