Abstract
A temperature stabilization system for a radiation detector in a well logging tool includes a temperature sensor which senses the temperature and provides a corresponding signal. Apparatus located within the logging tool and containing the radiation detector provides a controllable temperature environment for the radiation detector. A heat exchanger transfers heat from the apparatus in accordance with the temperature signal so as to stabilize the temperature in the apparatus for the radiation detector. A heat disposing device is arranged with the heat exchanger to dispose of the transferred heat.
