RETAIN Training
This training course is for those using the RETAIN system to record usage and disposals of unsealed radioactive materials at the University.
RETAIN is an online recording system for recording the usage and disposals of unsealed radioisotopes. Details about RETAIN can be found on the RETAIN webpage (secured) (EASE aunthenticated).
As RETAIN is being rolled out systematically not all areas are using the system yet. Your RPS should be able to inform you of the recording system in your area, or please contact radiation@ed.ac.uk if you are uncertain.
