    "abstract": "This paper primarily considers the potential effects of a single\nhigh-altitude nuclear burst on the U.S. power grid. A comparison is made\nbetween EMP and natural phenomena such as lightning. This paper concludes that\nEMP is no more harmful to the power grid than its counterparts in nature. An\nupper limit of the electric field of the very fast, high-amplitude EMP is\nderived from first principles. The resulting values are significantly lower\nthan the commonly presented values. Additional calculations show that the\nionization produced by a nuclear burst severely attenuates the EMP.",
