As of this writing, North Korea intends to launch another Unha-3 rocket, or a larger and more efficient version in a launch window falling between 8 – 25 February. This launch follows on the heels of a nuclear test conducted by North Korea on January 6, 2016, and the claim by Kim Jung-Un that the bomb was a hydrogen bomb. The MSM pundits and their positivist quacking "experts" all state the bomb was not a hydrogen bomb; however, experts such as Peter V. Pry disagree.
What was discussed by Dr. Pry was the intentionally low-yield weapon test that would have been optimal for a miniaturized EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) device, that range being 5-10 kilotons. I have cited Dr. Pry's work in previous articles and am thoroughly convinced of both his professionalism and his expertise. While the North Koreans claim this launch to be for the purpose of emplacing an earth observation satellite, there are differences in the rocket that satellite images have picked up. The images revealed a gantry that differs in size and design from previous Unha-3 launches. The latest attribution is that the rocket may be a Unha-9, the newest North Korean design that may include an 80-ton rocket booster.
The booster has been accomplished with the help of the Iranians. The U.S. Treasury department announced sanctions after proving that Iranians had been traveling to Pyongyang and indeed worked on such a project. In addition, this new launch has concealment procedures not used before by North Korea, such as a mobile sub-surface rail system to transport the missile directly to the gantry unobserved. The launch pad itself is shielded from view

The PV cell is covered with a conductive grid to carry the current away. Over the surface area of a large solar panel, an EMP will induce thousands of volts, certainly more than the Vr of any blocking diode. But the most important factor is that of the Vr of the panel itself. The entire area of the PV cell is one continuous, flat, PN junction.
It only takes a minute breach of the PN junction to render the entire cell useless. And because of the rise time (~5ns) of the EMP, the voltage spike on the PV cell will have already blown through the local Vr way before the spike propagates to the nearest blocking diode. (which by the way is certainly not a fast diode suitable for clamping a 5ns pulse.)
They better hurry up then. With the new "controls" that are coming into play in three weeks they won't get anywhere near the grid unless they are riddling substaions with .308 rounds. The new remediation's coming online are a bitch to traverse even if you have valid access to the infrastructure.
Those are good points. One might study differences in radiation yields between smaller and larger nuclear weapons along with differences in communications equipment and methods between the past and now.
I would like to be added to the ‘prepper ping list’ please.
