Abstract

A radiation detector comprises a tool housing. The tool housing has a substantially cylindrical tubular shape. A radiation sensor generates a signal in response to detecting radiation. The radiation sensor is locatable within the tool housing. A signal processor is operably connectable with the radiation sensor. The signal processor receives the signal from the radiation sensor and generates an electrical signal as a function of the signal received. The signal processor is locatable within the tool housing. A flex-sleeve supports at least one of the radiation sensor and signal processor within the tool housing. The flex-sleeve comprises a substantially cylindrical portion and a coaxially extending polygonal portion for engagement and supportive interaction with the cylindrical portion.
