you wouldn’t mind sharing that “technical & reputable” stuff for the common good would you?
I could see trying for an EMP attack prior to a bigger attack, to complicate the ability to reply, etc. But if pain is goal, target cities.

… but real stuff (e.g. ICBM controls) is shielded and, quite frankly, losing cable TV is not such a serious first volley, is it?
-
But I acknowledge this is a tricky issue with a lot of uncertainties on all sides.
-
I am actually curious as to the effects of nuking a nuclear plant but not "too close": can the neutron burst increase reactivity to blow it?
-
I have seen calculations on the amount of fallout generated by nuking a reactor (it increases the "dirtiness" by a significant factor),
-
I imagine that in the old OPLAN dropping a little something on Ignalina would have had quite an effect.
-
It dramatically adds to the contamination — it's like the worst of both worlds (nukes and reactor accidents) — if I recall.
-
I can imagine, especially the spent fuel pools.

Could EMP's be used to knockout the electrical grid? Taking out the grid for longer than a few days would create chaos; 2 weeks = we're done
