ZAP-X uses a revolutionary approach to deliver high-precision radiation, primarily via a novel vault-free design which eliminates the need for providers to build costly radiation-proof facilities. And through ZAP’s use of a modern linear accelerator to produce radiation beams, hosting hundreds of volatile Cobalt-60 sources has been obsolesced, thereby removing the significant costs and efforts related to regulatory licensing, security, decay, and recurring replacement.
