In July 1962, a 1. 44 megaton ( 6. 0 PJ ) United States nuclear test in space, above the mid-Pacific Ocean, called the Starfish Prime test, demonstrated to nuclear scientists that the magnitude and effects of a high altitude nuclear explosion were much larger than had been previously calculated.

This means that although a 10 kiloton weapon has only 0. 7 % of the total energy release of the 1. 44-megaton Starfish Prime test, the EMP will be at least 8 % as powerful.
