Apart from b61 bomb can the F-35 carry any other nuclear weapon such as AGM-69 or ASMP (externally of course:D) if the agm-69 have not retired ,and the ASMP is for export:cool:, I have heard that F-35 has a new feature called UAI that allow it to be wired to carry any missile ( not so heavy ) within months (is that true). And also japan is buying F-35 so their F-35 will carry ASM-3 is it :p
ASMP

About EMP effectfrom nuclear bomb :dev2:
WIKI say that a nuclear explosion at high altitude can produce significantly EMP effect (nuclear bomb explodes at 30 miles high can produce EMP effect out to 480 miles )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_nuclear_explosion
and also the ASM-135 ( anti satellite missile) did use the motor from AGM-69 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASM-135_ASAT
So in theory can an aircraft carry the AGM-69 just goes to a zoom climb , fires the AGM-69 straight up to the sky , may be time the warhead of it so that it explode at high altitude and create huge EMP effect to destroy enemy radar , electronic equipment ( the russian KH-15 is pretty much the same size with AGM-69 and can climb to an altitude of about 40,000 m so i think this will not be a hard work is it )
