I watched that show for a bit until I realized they were without power for so long yet the bitches somehow still got glammed up. What I saw of it was pretty pathetic. The reality would be closer to The Road or Threads, probably worse.

If our government did this it would be a good idea to first export as much of our manufacturing technology as you could and then import as many people as you can with goat herding skills into this country.

I dont EVER see an EMP used as a weapon ........ EVER !!! Why ??
Because the information you give THEM from your phones every minute of every day is way WAY to valuable !!!! THEY , are not about to end that data stream. No fucking way will they kill all the data streams with an EMP..... the threat of an EMP is bullshit ! It will NEVER EVER happen!!!! Mark my words ! Never gonna happen......

Yup. In that show there were people that were never able to make it home because it was too far. Overseas in some cases. So preps did them no good. You should be able to survive no matter where you are in the world. Or never leave your home. Remember there is safety in numbers.

Lights will be the lesser of the problems caused by a power outage. Look around you, electricity runs most of the stuff you are looking at, or was used to build it or is necessary to maintain it.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77005931

Not true, at least in the US.

After Fukushima, safeguards were put in place in the US, that required all nuke plants to run cooling with off grid power for an indefinite period.

In particular, lower-yield weapons—such as those feared by EMP commission from small adversarial states and/or, possibly, terrorists cells—will have a substantially smaller E3 component than the megaton yield weapons simply because of the size of their ionized fireball is much smaller. This means that the effect of smaller (~kiloton) weapons on long-line power and telephone cables, which couple most effectively to E3, will also be much less than in the megaton cases; however, the E1 fields from such weapons may still be sufficient to disrupt and/or destroy the electronic controls of the power-delivery systems, as well as computers, Blackberrys, cell phones, etc., located within or close to the peak-field region.



Tests with EMP simulators have shown that a very short pulse of about 10-7 Joule is sufficient to damage a microwave semiconductor diode, and roughly .05 J will damage an audio transistor, whereas 1 J would be required for vacuum tube damage [ref. 5, pp. 522–4]. More precisely, the limit is defined in terms of the instantaneous (few nanoseconds risetime) power delivered to the IC [19]. A few watts to a few hundred watts of power are sufficient to destroy most ICs, when delivered in a few nanoseconds (e.g. 10-7 J /10-8 sec = 10 W).

Thus, how quickly the EMP E1 pulse is delivered affects the consequent IC damage. Note that the pulse length increases as one goes further from the peak field region [6], and this is another reason (besides the natural decrease of the E1 field strength) to expect somewhat less damage towards the periphery of the exposed region, especially for a small (~1 kiloton) device.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77005931


That is incorrect...

The majority of US nuclear power plants are able to remove the nuclear rods from the pile by using mechanical means. The pile can be deactivated. It quickly cools to slightly above room temperature. The problem stems through evaporation of water in the pool. Once the water evaporates, then you get radiation that is contained by the dome and structure. If the structure and dome is damaged, then the radiation can leak out. This radiation is limited in range and scope by wind. It is not as deadly as Fukushima because, they couldn't deactivate the pile. Plus Fuku had structural damage that allowed radiation to leak out into the air and water...

I worked for American Electric Power, you would not believe how fragile the system is. Go to any of their operating company websites (Appalachian Power, AEP Ohio, Public Service Oklahoma, AEP Texas, Southwestern Electric Power Company, Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power), and check outages, they are constant, and often times involves thousands of people. It wouldn't take much to take it all down.
