They also lead to generation of an intense electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which can significantly degrade performance of or destroy sophisticated electronic equipment.

In addition to other effects, a nuclear weapon detonated in or above the earth's atmosphere can create an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), a high-density electrical field.

除了其他影响，在地球大气层中或之上引爆的核武器会产生一种电磁脉冲(EMP)，这是一种高强度的电场。

Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by electrostatic discharges (ESD) can severely interfere with the normal operation of electronic systems and even damage them.

静电放电(esd)产生的电磁脉冲(EMP)会对电子系统的正常工作造成严重的干扰，甚至造成系统的损伤。

This could allow Tehran to execute the sort of missile-delivered strike that has been judged by a congressionally mandated, blue-ribbon commission to be capable of causing "catastrophic" damage to the United States - an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.

Unfortunately, the lack of U.S. nuclear testing since 1992 has also contributed to uncertainty about the adequacy of steps to protect conventional military gear from the effects of high-energy, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks.

Finally, there is the problem that even some Democrats on Capitol Hill - notably, Senator Joe Lieberman (technically an Independent who caucuses with Democrats) and Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairmen respectively of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committees - recognize could eventuate at any time: an attack involving relatively short-range, ship-borne ballistic missiles used to launch a strategic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack against this country.
