The energy from the blast is not that which comprises the EMP. It is electrons knocked loose in the upper atmosphere; and their motion in the Earth's magnetic field which in turn *induces* currents in wiring.

Yes, my numbers above would be at 100% efficiency which isn’t possible in the real world.
Max EMP surge felt on the ground directly beneath the blast will be less than my calculated 324 watts per square meter.
