Introduction to the Electromagnetic Pulse Issue in The Nuclear Power Industry

One of the greatest threats to the United States today is a widespread and long-term disruption to the power grid resulting from a high-altitude and/or electromagnetic pulse (EMP) Nuclear Weapon.

Concurrent Biological, Electromagnetic Pulse, And Cyber Attacks - A Challenge To The Interagency Response

The U.S. including its military depends on an electrical grid and electricity-based critical infrastructure. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and cyber attack can disable not just a significant portion

Missile Defense in 2027

While there is some uncertainty about the direction of the U.S. missile defense program, there can be little question that the threats posed by ballistic missiles and the availability of nuclear

The Threat of High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulses: Why it Should be Keeping Combatant Commanders Up at Night

Abstract : High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) poses a serious and credible threat to U.S. forces. Research and analysis of current HEMP defenses and contingency planning revealed that U.S.

On the response and immunity of electric power infrastructures against IEMI — Current Swedish initiatives

This manuscript is aimed to present various Swedish research activities planned to provide the necessary knowledge to improve the electromagnetic requirements/susceptibility level against IEMI threats of future digital and electronic components used on different critical infrastructures system.

Estimation of Damage in Electric Power Networks due to High Power Electromagnetic Pulse

Abstract In this paper, economic loss due to high power electromagnetic pulse is estimated and the methodology used for calculating its impacts is suggested using a macro approach. In order to

System-Level Vulnerability Assessment for EME: From Fault Tree Analysis to Bayesian Networks—Part I: Methodology Framework

The thought of divide-and-rule to cope with the electromagnetic risk assessment is provided, which divides the system into relatively independent and manageable subsystems, and after respective tests and computations, the subsets of data are fused to characterize the whole system.
