Experts told the House of Representatives – part of Congress – a blast from an EMP could wipe out the power grid and all electrical devices within the blast radius.
Dr William R Graham and Dr Peter Vincent Pry, from the EMP Commission, told members fridges, lights, water and communication devices would become void if a hydrogen bomb detonated at an altitude of 30 to 400km above a target.
And the blast could end up killing 90 per cent of American indirectly, along with taking down aeroplanes in flight and cause trains to stop in their tracks.
In a statement, the pair said: “With the development of small nuclear arsenals and long-range missiles by new, radical US adversaries, beginning with North Korea, the threat of a nuclear EMP attack against the US becomes one of the few ways that such a country could inflict devastating damage to the United States.
“It is critical, therefore, that the US national leadership address the EMP threat as a critical and existential issue, and give a high priority to assuring the leadership is engaged and the necessary steps are taken to protect the country from EMP.”
North Korea has long boasted about its ability to bring down the United State’s financial systems and transport networks with a series of EMP attacks.
And the hermit state previously claimed it had two satellites in an “ideal altitude” to launch such an attack against the USA.
Dr Graham, a former science advisor to president Reagan and Dr Pry, a former CIA officer, has now urged US President Donald Trump to prepare for a possible EMP strike.
