The vacuum tubes themselves may well be impervious to an EM pulse, but the wiring of their circuits will still collect EM energy, and thus be present in the circuit. However tubes will be more immune than semiconductors because of the voltages involved.
Having said that, a large electrical storm (geomagnetic Storm) in Canada burnt out some of the power grid, so it is all relative. 13 March 1989. this particular storm caused auroras to be seen as far south as Texas.

Do vacuum tubes did it lead to an increase or decrease in size?
Vacuum tubes vary from thumb size to larger than most people. Integrated circuits or ICs' are the size of you little finger nail. There was nothing worth remembering before vacuum tubes.
What is vacuum tubes define?
It is a cleaner machine
Is vacuum tube ohmic or non-ohmic and why?
Vacuum tubes are non-ohmic devices
Who invented the vacuum tubes and when?
Vacuum tubes were invented on November 16, 1904. The inventor was British engineer, John Ambrose Fleming. He died in 1945 at the ripe old age of 90.
What was argon used for?
Electric light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, and radio vacuum tubes and as an inert gas shield in arc welding.
How many vacuum tubes are in the Univac I computer?
It used 5200 vacuum tubes.
Do all vacuum tubes light up?
No, there are some cold cathode vacuum tubes. These do not light.
Where is a good place near Seattle where you can buy old vacuum tubes?
This would depend on the type of vacuum tubes needed. Any car part store will carry vacuum tubes for a car, general stores carry vacuum tubes for household vacuums, and AC part stores will carry vacuum tubes for the AC/Heating system of a house.?æ
Where was vacuum tube was made?
who made the vacuum tubes
How many vacuum tubes in first generation computer?
ENIAC was the first digital general purpose computer, built in 1946, and with 17,468 vacuum tubes. The Illiac I, the first computer built and owned by a US educational institution, had 2800 vacuum tubes. The IBM 604 had about 2000 vacuum tubes.
Does current pass through vacuum?
Usually not, but a high voltage can force electrons from one side to the other. This is done in vacuum tubes. Answer2: Yes. The Electromagnetic Wave passes through vacuums and E = hf = WQf = WI, where I is a current.
What technology replaced vacuum tubes in the second generation?
Vacuum tubes were first replaced by transistors, and later by integrated circuits.
Why modern devices use integrated circuit instead of vacuum tubes?
Modern devices use integrated circuits instead of vacuum tubes because integrated circuits occupy less space than vacuum tubes, are more efficient, consumes less energy and are more reliable than vacuum tubes.
Vacuum tubes generation?
first
