A Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) is a burst of electromagnetic radiation resulting from a nuclear explosion. This pulse can disrupt or damage electronic devices and electrical systems over a wide area, depending on the altitude and yield of the explosion. The effects can be immediate and widespread, potentially leading to failures in communication, transportation, and power infrastructure. The impact of a nuclear EMP can be severe, as it can incapacitate critical systems without causing direct physical destruction. Governments and military organizations often study nuclear EMP effects to prepare for potential threats and to develop protective measures for essential infrastructure and technology.
