The high-altitude electromagnetic pulse(HEMP) generated by a high-altitude nuclear explosion. This paper presents the comparison of electric field penetration in Bell laboratories and IEC 61000-2-9 standard when HEMP source penetrates through Naval Warship conducted coupling path and radiated coupling path. Also we analyze the effects of two kinds of coupling and propose Protective measures. Simulation results confirm IEC 61000-2-9 standard is more strict than the Bell Laboratories standard except for a lower frequency band, so we proposed IEC 61000-2-9 standard as a Naval HEMP standard. Finally, we offer the protective measures such as the shielding coating, Honeycomb ventilation, TVS in order to meet the military criteria.

The arc thermal metal spraying method (ATMSM) has been used in Korea to improve the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shielding effect of building and infrastructure by three machines of MS, KMS and HMS (Metal Spray, Korea Metal Spray, High-frequency Meta Spray). The adhesion ability of sprayed metal was found to be 58.32, 64.66 and 87.62% for MS, KMS and HMS, respectively. The metal sprayed area per hour of MS, KMS and HMS was calculated and found to be 14.3, 19.25 and 22.16㎡/h, respectively. The HMS showed the highest metal spray area attributed to the diameter of metal wire i.e. 1.6mm which sprayed 80 mm with 18 m/min. There was minimum loss of metal and the highest efficiency by HMS compared to others. Therefore, it is suggested to use HMS for metal spraying by ATMSM to enhance the EMP shielding effect.

방사능방재법의 개정을 통해 전자적 침해행위의 유형으로 고출력 전자기파(Electromagnetic Pulse, 이하 EMP) 위협에 대한 대책이 원자력시설별로 마련되도록 요구되었다. 그동안 국내의 EMP 위협에 대한 방호 대책은 군사시설 중심으로 오랫동안 연구되고 적용된 바 있으나, 공공 및 민간시설에 대해서는 이제 막 첫발을 내딛은 상황이다. 본고에서는 한국원자력통제기술원 사이버보안실에서 추진하고 있는 국내 원자력시설에 대한 EMP 방호 규제체계 구축현황에 대해 소개하고, 이에 배경이 되는 법적 근거 및 국내 외 유관 연구사례 및 기술표준 등에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

Characteristics of exhaust from chimney of electricity generator are analyzed based on CFD when Waveguide-Below-Cutoff (WBC) array is installed in order to achieve the certain level of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shielding. The main purpose is prediction of average and maximum velocity of exhaust. The results reveal that: 1) When the specification of waveguide is given as 80-diameter, 400-length, and the gap of 20 mm, the shielding effectiveness (SE) is 140dB. The average and maximum velocity of exhaust in the chimney with WBC Array can be represented as exponential functions. 2) As the number of WBC increases, the velocity in the chimney dwindles. 3) Under the situation that WBC with 80 mm diameter is located at intervals of 20 mm, the average velocity can be approximated by $25.5344{\times}e^{(-0.0098{\times}N_{WBC})}$ with input velocity of 15 m/s. In addition, the determination coefficient is 0.915, which is sufficiently high.

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).

A high voltage pulse generator was fabricated to radiate ultrawide band electromagnetic pulse. A coaxial type of Blumlein pulse forming line is employed to produce a pulse of high voltage (>300 kV) and short pulse duration (~5 ns). A helical strip/wire type of air-cored pulse transformer was used to charge the Blumlein pulse forming line up to more than 300 kV. A peaking switch is essential to make the pulse rise time as fast as possible. Typically, the rise time is ~500 ps. The output pulse of the generator is radiated into air through an exponentially tapered TEM horn antenna. The electric field intensity of a radiated pulse was measured as a function of the distance from the transmitting horn as well as the output voltage of the peaking switch. The peak-to-peak value of the electric field intensity at 10 m from the TEM antenna was~100 kV/m.

This paper describes computer simulation program of high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP). The HEMP is produced by the gamma rays form high-altitude nuclear explosion. The gamma rays generate a current of compton electron that leads to the production of electromagnetic fields. In case of high altitude nuclear burst, the electrical fields at the earth's surface are strong enough to be damaged for electrical and electronic device over a very much larger area. Therefore, national infrastructure will be serious damage such as power grid and communication network. In this paper introduce simulation program for calculation of HEMP and present to simulation study results of high altitude nuclear explosion experiment from U.S. and U.S.S.R.

Current military command information system uses electronic equipment a lot on which semiconductor chip is attached. It seems its' importance will increase more with latest information communication technology developing. Electronic equipment which uses electricity contains regular tolerance to high output electric signal. And EMC specification is the standardized of this electronic equipment's tolerance. On the other hand, the Institute of Atomic Energy Research has ever declared that high output electromagnetic pulse(EMP) will be broken out within the radius of 170Km when 10kt nuclear explosion occurs at an altitude of 40Km above Seoul. Then, the region suffer from the damage of most electronic equipments. Therefore, the norm to protect the influences in that case is defined by EMP protection specification. Most common electronic equipments meet the EMC norm, but there is no way to check whether they meet the EMP norm or not. That is because it is difficult to check whether they meet EMP protection norm and is on the matter of cost. Except inevitable cases, there is no review of checking whether they meet the norm or not. Considering the above, in this research, we speculate about the measures to improve military EMP protection ability by analyzing the EMC-EMP correlation and checking the EMP protection ability of general electronic equipment through the analysis.

Convenient design guideline for Waveguide-below-cutoff (WBC) array is proposed to obtain the minimum waveguide length for electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shielding. The analysis includes circular, rectangular, and hexagonal WBC, determine the total length of the waveguide. When the unit side of rectangular WBC and the diagonal line of hexagonal WBC are given as 30 mm, the length of hexagonal WBC is 5 mm shorter than rectangular case with shielding effectiveness (SE) 80 dB. The length difference is deepened with SE of 100 dB, which shows approximately 30 mm shorter length for hexagonal case than others. In addition, hexagonal WBC requires much shorter length than circular WBC. In conclusion, hexagonal case is the most effective with respect to flow velocity and pressure loss for equivalent SE.

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.
