Credit: 4 PDH
Length: 46 pages
This 4-hour course explains how a nuclear detonation may create an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that could disable the electric power industry. The course reviews the mechanics of EMP and explains how the electric power industry is structured. The vulnerabilities of the electric power industry are discussed as well as the mitigation options available to help the industry harden their systems to protect from EMP.
