This guy is calm, educated and prepared...Might want to listen to him and give your thoughts.
30-minute Interview 2 or 3 minutes in with Arthur T. Bradley.
Who is he?
1. He works for NASA
2. He has PhD in Electrical Engineering
3. HE IS CERTIFIED EMI/EMC and works with electromagnetics—his most important credential in his opinion.

Indicates a percentage of these would be damaged...Not all but would/could create chaos.
EMP Commission Report has best DATA in his opinion. Biggest effect to nation electric grid mentioned
Fast rise time on the pulse affects small electronics.
Cars not all affected...
EMP is a “Line of Sight” event...in theory if detonated at couple hundred miles up above source region, could take out 70%
“EMP is a “Line of Sight” event...in theory if detonated at couple hundred miles up above source region, could take out 70%”
70% of what? The United States? Not even close.
And the North Korean article talks about 100 km as being the maximum altitude they contemplate for their EMP bombs. Could be misinformation but I doubt.
And the most damaging Soviet test was at 290 km altitude with a 300 kt weapon- i.e. more powerful than the one the North Koreans tested.
The doomsayers on this issue have simply got to deal with the reality that very large devices have been tested over populated areas with very large weapons in the 1960s. And life went on pretty much as normal before. Yes, we’re more vulnerable to E1 pulse now because of all our computers, but this “we’ll be back to the stone age” talk is utter nonsense.
Hawaii and Kazhakstan weren’t sent back to the stone age and neither will we.
Also, I just noticed that this Dr. Bradley guy you rely on is associated with disasterpreparer.com. He wants to scare you to sell you stuff.
He’s precisely the kind of guy whose opinion you should throw into the trash can.
