Welcome to the age of Trump/Bannon. Tips on surviving the experience

How to Design a Nuclear Fallout Shelter

So just to recap, the basic shelter requirements are:

Ample mass to block the radiation
Air filtration to prevent inhaling or ingesting radioactive material
Water and food for several weeks
Radiation meters
Energy sources both electric and burnable fuel
Radio for communications
Simple waste disposal
A way to wash off radioactive material
Security measures
Since radiation can’t make turns, use 90-degree turns at doorways and air ducts

It will give you the luxury of starving to death in the nuclear winter to follow.
