Hopefully, this will actually be addressed by President Trump and his VP or Chief of Staff, Newt Gingrich (who authored the forward on a well-known book on EMP).

Apparently, it won’t take much more than about $20 billion to harden the power plants, and if they are kept up and running, then any EMP will have limited (though still severe) effects. If they are knocked out, then it is game over.

Also, something HAS to be done about the nuke plants - from what I understand (and I may be wrong, and hope that I am), the power to circulate the cooling water is drawn from an external source - i.e. not from the plant itself - so that if that source is cut off, and the diesel generators run out of fuel, then there’s no cooling and the plant goes super-critical shortly thereafter...and we have 400 nukes in this country, 400 potential Fukashimas.

Rest assured, Clinton will do NOTHING about this, guaranteed. Those #NeverTrump folks still out there should think about this when deciding what to do in November.

This is the kind of thing Trump would understand... I hope you're wrong on this... any idea how many hours diesel generators can keep water circulating after an external power loss?
