The international community recognizes North Korea's nuclear and missile provocation as a real threat. This is due to the analysis and evaluation that has developed nuclear electro magnetic pulse of domestic and overseas North Korea experts, intelligence agencies related to electro magnetic pulse. Electro magnetic pulse experts are concerned about North Korea's nuclear electro magnetic pulse in the following aspects. First, industrial, military, medical, and living facilities in modern society are constructed with electrical and electronic systems. So, All electrical and electronic appliances will become neutralization if North Korea's nuclear electro magnetic pulse was set off over the world(i.e. Korean Peninsula, United States etc). Second, North Korea will judge that possibility of criticism by the international community is low from the point of view of an attacker. Because nuclear electro magnetic pulse aim to destroy only the electronic equipment of the opposite nation and cause damage rather than taking life. Finally, nuclear electro magnetic pulse is more threatening than weapons like mass destruction because it does not need to hit targets accurately and can strike a wide area with nuclear weapon of the low technology levels. In this respect, we will analyze and evaluate nuclear and missile development and make a prospects about nuclear electro magnetic pulse developed by North Korea.

EMP(ElectroMagnetic Pulse) was founded by United States first time from hydrogen bomb experiments in the Pacific Ocean. Although nuclear weapons are weapons of destruction and casualties as heat and explosive force, accidentally it discovered EMP that it can be used as a weapon system that can impose serious damage to electronic equipments without damaging our life, and especially, the automated weapons operated by a computer, such as an electronic device can be effectively neutralized. Therefore, the main military facilities have provided the equipment that can protected from EMP as necessary. In this paper, the concept of EMP is described and countermeasures to protect against EMP are surveyed and described.

The ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) destroys social infrastructure at once and causes social chaos. However, currently major infrastructures are constructed of concrete that does not have electromagnetic shielding performance. In this study, using the arc metal spraying method is used to evaluate the shielding performance and construction performance of concrete. The electro-magnetic shielding effect is measured by fabricating a shielding room with reference to MIL-STD-188-125, and the construction performance is evaluated by measuring the adhesion strength of thin metal sprayed film-concrete. As a result of the study, when the metal spraying method is applied, the shielding effect is higher than that of the special electro-magnetic shielding concrete, and it is considered to be more economical than the existing metal plate (3~5 mm).

The HEMP has very short rising time with several tens of kV/m, and very dangerous to almost of the electronics. And the certain level of EMP shielding effectiveness is necessary for mos t of the systems andequipment. In EMP shielding effectiveness, the peak value and the rising time in the system are the most considerable parameters. In order to find out these parameters, we need to estimate the pulse shape in time domain. In this paper, we propose the methods to estimate the penetrated pulse in time domain using measured shielding effectiveness and digital filter modeling technique. The validity of the Digital filter modeling technique is verified by the HFSS.

Social infrastructure facilities can be destroyed instantly when exposed to EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse), causing social chaos. However, concrete structures with low electrical conductivity cannot expect EMP shielding effect. Therefore, in this study, a metal sprayed thin film showing excellent EMP shielding performance was applied to a concrete structure to evaluate the metal spray welding efficiency and adhesion performance of the thin film according to the concrete surface treatment method. As a result according to the concrete surface treatment method, It was confirmed that the use of a roughening agent that generates physical irregularities in order to improve the welding efficiency and adhesion performance increases the physical performance of the concrete and metal sprayed thin film.

EMP(Electromagnetic Pulse) protection facility was evaluated according to standard of shielding effectiveness. To comply with the standard, transmitting antenna was placed on outside of protection facility and receiving antenna was placed on inside of protection facility. However, measurement is impossible that place does not have enough space between protection facility and external concrete structure. In this paper, we performed a various of tests that put transmitting antenna inside the EMP protection facility in order to find out test method for measuring the shielding effectiveness of electromagnetic wave. Transmitting antenna was placed on inside of the EMP protection facility for measuring the shielding effectiveness to compare and analyze the impact of the position regarding to the transmitting and receiving antenna. As a result of test, in case that transmitting antenna was placed on inside of the EMP protection facility, it was found that test frequency range 10 kHz~1 GHz were occurred overall average difference of ${\pm}4$ dB level.

In recent years, with the development of computers and electronics, electronics and communication technology in a growing and each part is dependent on the cross-referencing makes all electronic equipment is obsolete due to direct or indirect damage EMP. Korea and the impending standoff North Korea has a considerable level of technologies related to the EMP, EMP weapons you already have or in a few years, the development of EMP weapons will complete. North Korea launched a long-range missile and conducted a nuclear test on several occasions immediately after, when I saw the high-altitude nuclear blackmail has been strengthening the outright offensive nuclear EMP attacks at any time and practical significance for the EMP will need offensive skills would improve. At this point you can predict the damage situation of Korea's security reality that satisfy the need, more than anything else to build a protective system of the EMP. The scale of the damage that unforeseen but significant military damage and socio-economic damage and fatalities when I looked into the situation which started out as a satellite communications systems and equipment to attack military and security systems and transportation, finance, national emergency system, such as the damage elsewhere. In General, there is no direct casualties reported, but EMP medical devices that rely on lethal damage to people who can show up. In addition, the State power system failure due to a power supply interruption would not have thought the damage would bring State highly dependent on domestic power generation of nuclear plants is a serious nuclear power plant accident in the event of a blackout phenomenon can lead to the plant's internal problems should see a forecast. First of all, a special expert Committee of the EMP, the demand for protective facilities and equipment and conduct an investigation, he takes fits into your budget is under strict criteria by configuring the contractors should be sifting through. He then created the Agency for verification of performance EMP protection after you have verified the performance of maintenance, maintenance, safety and security management, design and construction company organized and systematic process Guard facilities or secret communications equipment and perfect for the EMP, such as protective equipment maneuver system should take.

In this study, physical properties and EMP shielding performance evaluation of cement paste according to the amount of milled carbon fiber was conducted to develop EMP shielding cement using carbon fiber. The length of the milled carbon fiber used was 100㎛, and it was used as a cement admixture because it showed a powdery form to the naked eye. As a result of the experiment, when 5% of the amount of cement was used, the milled carbon fiber was effective in compressive strength and EMP shielding, and the shielding effect did not increase when used beyond that. As a result of examining the EMP shielding performance according to the thickness of the specimen, the plain without milled carbon fiber had no effect of increasing the shielding rate according to the thickness. The shielding performance of the specimens using the milled carbon fiber increased as the thickness increased. Therefore, in order to increase the EMP shielding rate when comparing and evaluating the performance according to the amount of milled carbon fiber used and the thickness of the specimen, 5% of the milled carbon fiber used is optimal. In addition, the method of increasing the thickness is considered to be effective.

Regarding HEMP has been studied as few thousand of paper by major nuclear bomb holding countries with USA for the self protection against nuclear bomb attract. Major HEMP protection facilities are consist of the shielding, filtering, grounding and high voltage protection circuits. Shielding room construction required a highest cost among the key protective facilities. Most of a theoretical formulas listed on the paper and related books has a little correlations in the certain frequency band between the theoretical formulas and field measuring results. For the reasons we proposed the advanced new theoretical formulas and developed the computer simulation S/W as enough as apply to the cost effective shielding room design for HEMP considering the various structural constants.

When a metal sprayed film of several hundred ㎛ on the concrete surface is possible to 80 dB of shielding effect electromagnetic waves (ElectroMagnetic Pulse, EMP). Therefore, in this study, as a way to secure EMP shielding performance by applying a metal spray coating showing excellent EMP shielding performance to a concrete structure, the metal spray welding efficiency and thin film adhesion performance according to the concrete spray direction and surface treatment method were evaluated. Metal sprayed efficieny according to the metal spraying direction and method was confirmed that the difference was insignificant by applying the roughening agent. However, the method of strengthening the concrete surface and applying the sealing agent show maximum adhesion strength of 3.98 MPa compared to other methods, and it is judged that this method can be utilized for the metal spraying method for concrete EMP shielding.
