Nuclear electromagnetic pulse
A nuclear electromagnetic pulse (or EMP for short) is a big burst of energy. It's like a really big boom of electricity, but instead of making noise it makes a really strong pulse of energy. This pulse of energy travels really fast and can cause a lot of damage to electronics. It's like a big wave that can break down computers and other electronic devices.
