-- TL 9 can manage 20 year food storage
-- TL 10 can manage 40 year food storage
- Small TL 8 bunkers would start opening 1,3,5 or up to 10 years after the End. This is pre AtE.
- Some gardening would be required to maintain viable seed stocks
- Livestock with the possible exception of fish would probably not survive in shelters without special planning.
- Basic tools would be present but little machinery
- A larger shelter would likely have a water source and power generation
(E) assuming my AtE has justification for a large nuclear exchange that prioritized long lasting fallout over immediate destructive power, how long would people reasonably be living out of their fallout shelters?

Also could you attach some numbers to the shelter sizes? Is a small bunker just one that doesn't necessarily need government/corporate funding or is it intended more as a family and close friend sized shelter?
