No, i'm not a psycho guy, I just watched Deep Impact recently and started to think.
There would be heat emitted, as the reaction is exothermic, but don't ask me where it'd go! Since the bomb is made of some material, it would spread out very quickly.

The EM pulse would still be there.

It certainly wouldn't be a fiery explosion, that's for sure.
