[Pacific Rim] Why is nuclear powered jaeger immune to EMP shockwave?
gpt
Because they have a frigging nuclear reactor in it, they need significant shielding to protect the pilots from the radiation (which even then apparently wasn't 100% effective). It stands to reason that this additional shielding that the plasma reactor-powered jaegers didn't have had the added bonus of being able to block a significant part of an EMP pulse.
