Después de las contribuciones de esta tesis, la red automática de vigilancia radiológica ambiental en tiempo real de Cataluña dispone de nueva y mejor información radiológica. Esto ha sido logrado gracias al desarrollo y calibración de tres tipos de monitores de radiactividad mediante espectrometría gamma, ya sea con detectores de NaI(Tl) o de LaBr3(Ce), que permiten la identificación y cuantificación en tiempo real del contenido isotópico radiactivo en agua y aire. En esta tesis, se pueden encontrar detalles sobre metodologías generales de calibración así como una discusión de los mencionados desarrollos y sus correspondientes calibraciones específicas. Además, se efectúa una evaluación de las capacidades de medida para cada uno de los monitores.Universitat Rovira i VirgiliSalvadó Artells, MarçalUniversitat Rovira i Virgili.
