Well, please explain to me how "electrons in the atmosphere" cause electric currents? And what exactly is a bio-mineral? ionization in the atmosphere from a nuclear explosion could disrupt radio waves, just like lightning strikes do. Fallout, or "black rain" as you like to call it, is just dust that got sucked up into a nuke mushroom cloud and has become mildly contaminated and falls like volcanic ash. There could be significant amounts of alpha and beta particles and even gamma radiation, but none of that causes emp's or destroys electronic components. As a physics teacher with a masters, and six years as an AF electronics tech specializing in radios, nav aids EW systems and microwave downlinks, i feel pretty confident in my assesment. I worked on U-2's We used to put sample gathering equipment in the q-bay and fly THROUGH mushroom clouds to gather samples. its how we knew the makeup of russian bombs. it certaintly didnt fry the electronics on the U-2. Also, half of europe was in the fallout zone when chernobyl caught fire. helicopters and tractors and trucks were driving and flying around in that for weeks putting the fires out and months later cleaning up. fallout just doesnt effect electronics the way youthink it does.
You got me to singing the theme from Gilligan's Island in my head...
