Magnetohydrodynamic Electromagnetic Pulse Assessment of the Continental U.S. Electric Grid: Geomagnetically Induced Current and Transformer Thermal Analysis
The high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon can generate a large electromagnetic pulse—a sudden burst of electromagnetic radiation. This modeling study assessed the impacts of such a burst on bulk-power transformers.
