Abstract
Detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude, produces high magnitude Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP which will cover the extensive geographic region within the line of sight of detonation. This high magnitude EMP when interact with sensitive electronics network, has the competence to produce extensive and long eternal disruption and destruction to the critical power infrastructures like power grids that is sufficient to underpin the fabric of an economy. A single EMP attack seriously degrade or shut down a large part of the electric power grid in the geographic area of EMP exposure effectively instantaneously. In this paper, impact of EMP on power grid has been critically highlighted and an effort of understanding about the interaction of EMP with electrical power infrastructure has been made. Moreover, EMP as a threat to national security has been underlined and techniques of mitigations are also recommended.
