What is the range of an EMP blast? between 40 and 400 kilometers Nuclear EMPs are characterized by a range of spectrum of frequencies, pulse waveform shape, duration, and amplitude. A nuclear weapon detonated between 40 and 400 kilometers can generate an EMP that could affect up to 70% of the U.S. electric power grid, depending upon intensity.

Above ground nuke explosions produce minimal fallout, ie Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Those cities were firebombed, not nuked. Nukes don't exist.
