Abstract

A detector probe, for detecting ionising radiation and which is suitable for use in a nucleonic instrument usable in locations having a high ambient temperature, comprises an array of radiation detectors mounted on a support and a heat pipe for cooling the detector probe. The invention further comprises a nucleonic instrument incorporating such a detector probe.
