capable of emitting enough gamma rays to disable the electric power grid across most of the lower 48 states

I hope that's an exaggeration.

The EMP is a great ‘first strike’ weapon.

During a possible conflict, any site capable of launching such a weapon would be destroyed during the fueling stages. This is a weapon you launch to start an offensive; not after a conflict has been engaged.

[cranked]

So....where, exactly, did they test it?
Confirmation of such via what?

[onedoug]

“This vulnerability, if left unaddressed, could have grave, societal altering consequences.”

Next, North Korea plans to develop an electrical grid to test the weapon.

Says it all! I can see those contracts rolling in.

[Little Ray]

You mean they finally got something better than a fizzle with their nukes?

[SanFranDan]

I wonder what Dumbo might suggest?

Apologize for America

Ask Holder to look into this

Surrender

Demand North Korea hire our unemployed to help out?

Take out a Mullah

“ONE SECOND AFTER” By WILLIAM R. FORSTCHEN

Chilling......

[bolobaby]

Interesting book, although the author is not the best storyteller. Doesn't understand that good writing is about showing, not telling. Misses several key opportunities to hit this one out of the park.

[Jaxter]

A good novel on the possible after effects of an EMP strike..

If China really wanted to screw us, they would tell Little Kim to launch the EMP. He gives the order from a helicopter heading to the Chinese border. So we nuke North Korea, so what? China can toss a nuke at us via their proxy, and then have plausible deniability against retaliation.

[LibLieSlayer]

This is a very difficult weapon to create and to implement... and I do not believe that they could field this weapon unless the chicoms gave them an operational copy of ours that they either stole from us or that clinton sold or gave to them.

I saw one of those military tv shows saying that a EMP burst in the air, I forget the exact altitude, could essentially turn the lower 48 states into the Dark Ages over night. You can protect your stuff with faraday cages but they are pretty expensive. Just imagine the chaos that would ensue if the lights everywhere suddenly went off.
