The operators of the facilities are responsible for the conduct of its Environmental Radiological Surveillance Program as directed by the CSN. Moreover, the Directorate General of Civil Defense and Emergencies has a Radioactivity Warning Network (RAR) consisting of over 900 automatic stations measuring dose rate distributed nationwide. The Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring Network (Revira), managed by the CSN, is a nationwide network, consists of a Network of Sampling Stations (REM) and a Network of Automatic Stations for continuous monitoring (REA). The autonomous communities of Valencia, Catalonia, Extremadura and the Basque Country have their own automated networks similar to that of the CSN. Revira provides information on the radioactivity in the air, soil, water (drinking, inland and sea) and of food. The sampling and analysis programs are tailored to radiological recommendations laid down in the European Union Commission. The REM has the collaboration of laboratories in universities and the Centre for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT) for execution. The monitoring of inland and coastal waters is undertaken by the Centre for Studies and Experimentation of Public Works, Ministry of Public Works (CEDEX). El sistema de vigilancia radiol車gica del medio ambiente establecido en Espa a est芍 constituido por varias redes con diferentes objetivos: una red de vigilancia en el entorno de las instalaciones y varias redes de 芍mbito nacional financiadas y gestionadas por organismos p迆blicos. Los titulares de las instalaciones son los responsables de la realizaci車n de sus programas de vigilancia radiol車gica ambiental siguiendo las directrices del Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear (CSN). Por otra parte, la Direcci車n General de Protecci車n Civil y Emergencias dispone de una red de alerta a la radiactividad (RAR) constituida por m芍s de 900 estaciones autom芍ticas de medida de tasa de dosis distribuidas por el territorio nacional. La Red de Vigilancia Radiol車gica Ambiental (Revira), gestionada por el CSN, de 芍mbito nacional, consta de una red de estaciones de muestreo (REM) y una red de estaciones autom芍ticas de medida en continuo (REA). Las comunidades aut車nomas de Valencia, Catalu a, Extremadura y Pa赤s Vasco disponen de sus propias redes autom芍ticas similares a la del CSN.
