Ben you are still mixing apples and oranges. I speak from a considerable amount of experiance. 9 years in the navy nuclear power program 2 of which were as an instructor.

Yes there are components of radiation involved if the pulse is generated by a nuclear explosion. But it is not the Electro MAGNETIC pulse. And it is a moving magnetic field that generates the damage in electrical equipment. By creating a voltage spike in the wiring. And that is generally of very short duration.

If you are exposed to high levels of radiation along with a pulse it is the radiation that fries you.

A strong enough magnetic field can effect the body directly. That is because hemoglobin in the blood contains iron.It can literally pull that iron or your blood out of you. The level though is tremendously high. That is why you are not allowed near cyclotrons while in operation. To get that kind of magnetic level even from a nuclear blast. Well let's just say the field might affect the floating ash of your body because you are at ground zero. Well inside the fireball.
