Honestly I'd be more worried about noise from inductive backlash (inductors get so cranky when you cut them off!)

The cRio is pretty hardened, it should be fine, ours is sandwiched between the Jags on either side with the CIMs on the third side and the primary power routed along the fourth. Ours is in a storm of EM power and it hasn't batted an LED at it.
