EMP

Electromagnetic pulse – generator The electromagnetic pulse is a radiation surge that couples with electrical and electronic circuits and cause damage to the current and voltage of a device due to the resulting impact on both electric and   magnetic  fields . In the earliest days of nuclear testing, the effects of the EMP are studied. In the year 1945, during the US operation starfish (by US military), the detonated nuclear bomb above 250 miles from the earth surface over the Pacific Ocean has discharged a electromagnetic radiation which effected Hawaii which is located 1445 km away. This explains the effect of the EMP on the power grid and all electrical and electronic appliances. The latter was nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP). But at present each capable country has begun to include non-NEMP devices into its weapon arsenal. After the US operation star-fish , Russia has also detonated a nuclear bomb over Kazakhstan which completely disrupted the power grid of the

Countries with nuclear arsenal

Countries with nuclear arsenal  These can be classified into five types: Countries which have entered into NPT Countries which haven't entered into the NPT Countries which are believed to have nuclear war-heads NATO (war-head sharing countries) states formerly possessing nuclear war-heads Countries which have entered into NPT: Under "non-proliferation treaty" five countries are considered to be "nuclear weapon states". They are  1. USA (7315) 2. Russia (8000) 3. France (300) 4. United kingdom (225) 5. China (250) USA has build nearly 70,000 nuclear war heads during 1949 cold war, and Russia has build nearly 55,000. These weapons are said to be decommissioned or partially stored, but are "not destroyed"  Countries which haven't entered into the NPT: Since the NPT entered into force in 1970, three states that were not parties to the Treaty have conducted  nuclear tests , namely  India ,  Pakistan , and  Nort
