I think the other comments in response to this are because the text and the link don't seem congruent with one another. A radiation tolerant camera of that size is not likely to be using vacuum tubes.

Wikipedia page has a picture of a small one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_camera_tube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_camera_tube They're probably really inefficient and need bright lighting, low resolution, etc etc. But that kind of thing won't get zapped by radiation. It's glass and metal, maybe a few phosphors.

  Wouldn't the radiation also excite the scanner?

    Yeah I guess it could interfere with the image, but that's solved by turning down the gain (or using a less sensitive tube etc) and using brighter lights.
