Can this X Ray bit flip memory or damage NAND?

It can erase EPROMs, so don't send your vintage computers through an X-ray machine.

The bar for damaging memory is way higher than normal X rays.

Flipping bits is more fuzzy. In theory anything can flip bits in working memory.

It's a specific liquid scanner that's done on bottles that have been pulled aside for extra scanning (at least, that's what Frankfurt was doing a couple weeks ago)
