The EMP results a skin burns flash blindness and skin burns.
The EMP is a single pulse of energy that disappears in a fraction of a second.
Most equipment designed to protect electrical facilities from lightening will be effective against the EMP.
EMP is an electromagnetic wave which results from secondary reactions occurring when alpha radiation is absorbed in the air or ground.

Physical structures are more affected by a neutron bomb.
There is no real discernible difference between the bombs.
The primary lethal effects come from the radiation damage caused by the neutrons a neutron bomb emits.
