Interaction of electromagnetic pulse with commercial nuclear-plant systems
Description
Sandia National Laboratories has been engaged since October 1980 in a study of the potential interaction of the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a high altitude nuclear burst with commercial nuclear power plant systems. This study, which is being conducted for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, addresses a concern about our ability to safely shut down nuclear power plants exposed to EMP. This report provides some background on EMP phenomena and the current national interest in EMP in general. The Sandia program is then described in terms of the objectives, study approach, some preliminary analytical results and the analysis verification measurements effort
