CPR -Close Proximity Radiography
With more than 18 years of industrial radiography experience and 10 years working with Close Proximity Radiography (CPR) systems, EQS Global developed the NORAD Service, dedicated to increase CPR production, safety and quality.
During conventional (traditional) radiography the emission of radiation requires the evacuation of a wide area between the radiation source, the operators, and all people in the surrounding area.
The Close Proximity Radiography (CPR) system (also called Safe Radiography System, Small Area For Exposure Radiography, Small Controlled Area Radiography, and Safe Radiation System) reduces the radiation to much lower levels, consequently reducing evacuation areas.
NORAD safety culture and radiography environment, delivered by highly experienced and certified technicians, promotes an innovative continuous radiography and risk management approach, avoiding radiation incidents while assuring production.
