There weren't a lot of ultra sensitive computer chips in the 50's and 60's... It was that time period, right? I've forgotten, when did Russians stop doing above ground test - do you know?

What was eventually learned from these tests was that the real key to EMP is the enhancement of the production of gamma radiation. A Kiloton range weapon enhanced to produce gamma rays will create a larger emp than the megaton weapons of the test era.
