The torid can work for this, but the Amprex is still better. Here's why:

- Amprex has innate Electric damage

- Torid has innate Toxin damage

- Radiation is a combination of Electric and Heat

Thus, if you stick Radiation on a Torid, you'll still have Toxin. This means that every status proc has a 50% chance of being Toxin instead of Radiation, so your chance to proc radiation specifically is half of the weapon's actual Status Chance. Even with 3 dual-stat mods, the Amprex with only 2 dual-stat mods has a higher chance of proccing Radiation specifically.

In addition, you can mount Hammer Shot on the Amprex and it benefits both crit damage AND status chance, while on the Torid the extra crit damage is a complete waste.

So no, the Amprex is still better for a radiation CC build. That said, the Torid isn't a bad choice by any means, and I wouldn't ignore it. The innate toxin damage is great against both Grineer and Corpus so it would still be a good choice. But if you're asking which is better as a straight up CC gun, the Amprex wins, hands down.
