The Difference Between an EMP and a CME
Just when you think you have a subject mastered (which is perhaps too strong a word for my knowledge of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), you learn something new). That being that a coronal mass ejection (CME) is not the same as the radiation from a nuclear device.
Robert Hanson has provided the [my edits included] information below:
An EMP caused by an atomic blast is a higher-frequency pulse, and can cause problems with individual pieces of equipment. If we are hit with an EMP attack, we have plenty of other things to worry about. If you want to protect items, it is easy to shield them with a Faraday Cage.
