In the 80'ies where we saw lots of demonstration in Europe against the placement of these new minuteman(or what they were called)
Even our TV-program was about nuclear war and what could happen and how to survive it by hiding in a bunker. Even there they said you need food and water for about 14 days.
I remembered thinking. 14 days what about all this fallout some of them will be there for decades and maybe hundred of years.
So I tried to calculate what 1 person need to live underground in about 45-50 years
The person needs:
Water
Food
oil/gas/or whatever that is needed to run some of the equipment
Play stuff(to the times where there's nothing else to do)
Read stuff(same here)
and a lot more.
A person need about 2-3 Liters of water drinking. water to keep a person somehow clean about 5-10 liters(really not sure) Water to make food. 1-2 liters
I Even estimated that some of the water could be cleaned and reused again as water to the washing machine
To keep the water clean and not sour I need it to be mixed(don't know the real word for it) and for that I need electricity/power.
So make the calculation
3+10+2x50x365= about 273 cubic meters of water for 1 person
I could have calculated wrong.
However that how long you need to stay underground if I have understand it correctly
