Phoenix has increased its capacity for neutron imaging this year by 20%, the company announced today.

According to a release, the upcoming closing of GE Hitachi’s Vallecitos Nuclear Center in California will impact the supply chains of aerospace, defense and other industries. Phoenix’s increase in capacity will help to meet the demand of current and prospective customers. 

“We have appreciated the partnership with GE Hitachi, which has allowed us to expand our network of neutron imaging facilities to better serve our wide range of customers,” Phoenix CEO Tom D’Orazio said in a statement. “We are thrilled to continue offering those customers, and more, exceptional service through our highly reliable imaging facility in Wisconsin.”

As previously reported, the Phoenix Imaging Center is one of the only sites in the world that offers production-scale, high-quality neutron imaging services.
