Prof. Steven Starr

Prof. Steven Starr, a former director at the University of Missouri and a senior scientist focused on nuclear safety, dives into the alarming world of electromagnetic pulses (EMPs). He explains how EMPs can devastate critical infrastructure like power grids, pointing to historical tests and the catastrophic potential of modern-day attacks. With insights on the vulnerabilities of nuclear reactors and the slim protections against such threats, Starr highlights the urgent need for political will to safeguard our infrastructure from both nuclear and solar EMP risks.
