and the emp spreads out much farther then the blas from the nuclear explosion does

Not as far as i know.

the B-29 planes had been within the intense nuclear radiation zone when the bombs exploded over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then they would have suffered effects from the charge separation (radial) EMP

^the emp only spreads as far as the nuclear radiation... there is a less powerful emp that spreads a bit (in comparason to the explostion) further then the radiation but not enough to destroy electic devices.

But were getting pretty off the topic.

i think we're talking the difference between fallout radius and blast radius here folks :/

We should really just drop the subject, were getting far off topic.
