Title: Seismic restraint means for a nuclear radiation detector mounted in a tubular thimble

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5366288

Seismic restraint means are provided for mounting an elongated, generally cylindrical nuclear radiation detector within a tubular thimble. The restraint means permits longitudinal movement of the restraint means and the radiation detector into and out of the thimble. The restraint means includes spring bias means and thimble constant means whereby the contact means engage the thimble with a constant predetermined force which minimizes seismic vibration action on the radiation detector.
