EMP effects on Nuclear Power Plants

If a Solar Storm shut down the grid, how safe would we be from nuclear power plant meltdowns? Not very, it seems.

Solar Storms

Solar storms are both fascinating and frightening. They're a natural phenomenon that we can't control and they have the potential to wipe out many of the gains of modern civilization. But what are they?

If you've read Solar Rising you'll be familiar with Packy's Road Runner. If you haven't read the book yet, spoilers ahead.

Solar Rising Is Out Now

Solar Rising, the fourth and final book of the Survival EMP series, is out now for pre-order. Get it now while it's just 99c.

Rick Nolan's family and friends have survived the Solar Storm and the horrors that followed, but they're not out of the woods yet. They now face their greatest challenge.

Solar Rising - Sample Chapter 1

Jim Fairbanks locked the main door of the Black Mountain firehouse, picked up his lantern, checked his shotgun and turned east along State Street for his long walk home. A chill in the night air aggravated an old knee injury he’d sustained in a motorcycle accident, and he stretched his legs to ease the twinges. The old Toyota sedan he’d been using had been taken from him, and he made a mental note to acquire a bicycle from Emily Lucas. She’d taken to repairing them and was now one of the town’s main suppliers. A few shotgun shells would be enough to barter for a basic model with patched tires. It had been a while since he’d ridden one, and the ride up the hill to his house would be tough at first, but at least he’d be able to coast into town easily in the morning.
