Dr. Edward Teller, the Father of the H-Bomb, wrote an excellent paper in the
early 60's concerning why tubes survive EMP better than SS. In it he also
discusses Battery storage and grounding principals. I'll see if I can't dig
it up!

The issue of EMP and tubes has been around since the 60's at least. AW&ST
had
articles about it and cited that as a reason the Ruskies used tubes. It's
also a
nice cover story if you can't make decent SS devices.
