🩺 Innovation in IRCA and the ZAP-x technology in which Dr. Morena is part of
As we have pointed out on different occasions, the ZAP-x technology used in IRCA is technologically advanced and does not generate polluting waste.

However, this has not always been the case in the field of radiosurgery in the past.
Therefore, among her many areas of expertise within this field, Dr. Morena got her training as a Radioactive Facilities Supervisor in 2016. As we say, in IRCA it is not precise.
