The electron thermal energy k*T, where k and T are Boltzmann's constant and temperature, respectively, can be viewed as being the uncertainty in the electron energy, ��E. When �± >> ��E/h=k*T/h >> f, where f and �± are the radiation frequency and the rate of the transition accompanied with the radiation, respectively, the radiation power from an electron is given by P= ��E*f=k*T*f [1,2,3]. We assume that a spatially non-uniform magnetic field is represented by its most dominant mode and calculate the transition rate of free-electron two-quantum magnetic-wiggler bremsstrahlung (FETQMWB) driven by the field of this mode and the electron's intrinsic motivity to change its internal configuration through spontaneously emission. We find that �± >> k*T/h >> f is satisfied in the plasma generated by nuclear explosion and formulate the total radiation power in terms of plasma and magnetic field parameters. We envision a scheme to generate a super strong electromagnetic pulse (EMP) of FETQMWB by compressing a high-temperature highdensity electron beam to become a beam of thermonuclear temperature and ultra-dense beam with a pulsed periodic axial magnetic field in a theta-pinch-like configuration.
