>Why would an EMP automatically be fallout? I never said a global EMP, I just said EMP
From stuff like nunkes?, those with high EMP tend to have low radiation in comparison (the big Russian one was one of the cleanest per kiloton ever detonated) The energy has to come from somewhere. And fallout is generally overrated.
In a carrington-event scenario, the problem would be fallout created by nuclear power-plants melting down if the controls are fried and the power-grid fucked, but this would also be the case if some environmentalist decided to release a virus to get rid of humanity .. so it's a double-edged sword.
Gen-IV plants would be unaffected. (auto shut-down)
