FIL lived on snake when he was on the death march from Changi to the Kwai and said it tasted like chicken, hang on though, won’t all wildlife be gone too or be glowing in the dark!
Yes, but it might be cooked, so not all bad. 
Good thinking batman, save on the electric costs. When my daughter rented a studio in Brest for her studies, the locals had to take idodine tablets twice per year as it was in the vicinity of the sub base and also the arsenal. Maybe we should get some of those too from the government to take.
Erm, a battery pack phone charger? We have 3 around the place.
I got one of these for power outages. It’s a radio, lamp and torch as well as being able to charge a smartphone. It can be charged from the mains and then left near a window for the solar panel to keep it fully charged. If all else fails you get some exercise by charging it with the crank handle on the back.

I’ve got a gadget that attaches to my makita 18v batteries thats a torch and usb charger. Probably absolutely useless in the case of a nuke as the EMP will fry all unhardened electronics
And the unhardened human body as well perhaps? Problem solved. 
Not to mention the background radon gas from the granite.
That would be odd, as it would suggest that active isotopes are being released in the area which is somewhat frowned upon.
Its quite normal and down here along the coast at Toulon as well every so often for the locals who live near the naval base.
We may only need supplies in the bunker to endure for ~30 years.

Bring lots of books and candles!
I used to be in that business and, in the UK, they were only to be taken in the event of a nuclear accident to prevent the uptake of radioactive iodine so an odd approach by France.
Well as I’m half an hour from the Chinon nuclear reactor, I may even need to go triple glazed…

Tha’s nowt! I went to a school 2.7 miles from Sellafield.
In 1958, when I was a pupil, there was the worst nuclear ‘accident’ in UK. Being the 1950’s it was all hushed up. Smoke from the fire could be seen 30 miles away at the nuke subs construction yard at Barrow.
In the summer term, if it was sunny, we would cycle to Seascale where there was a sandy beach with big rock pools at either end, full of fat prawns.
We would catch bucket-fulls of prawns which the cook would boil for us for tea.
We were told that we must not cross the stream north of the golf links. This side OK. Other side, you will die. Simple.
All our fruit and veg came from the kitchen gardens of the school, as I s’pose, did all the meat and milk from local suppliers.
I know that for many years milk and lamb was thrown down old mine shafts in the area.
There was a brief flurry of reports of increase in leukemia in the area around Seascale but it faded away.
Friends say my immune system must be such I’ll be the last man standing

In 1990(?) a friend of mine did an installation at an international contemporary art expo in Gateshead where he plastered the interior walls of a house with mud from the beach at Sellafield. The local council H&S people made the exhibit off-limits (which of course he loved).
In 2006 I made a video of Sellafield with a NZ artist from observed drawings we’d made on a walk round its perimeter. We exhibited the work in the foyer of the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency, who were amazingly open and informative
The words “Survival Manual” and “Nuclear Attack” just simply do not go together.
In the event of a nuclear attack there is effectively no survival. It’s just a question of whether folks die in the first flash, or at some later time within the following year or so.
Imagine — No electricity, gas, vehicle fuel, pumped mains water, food distribution system, or communications of any sort, or any medical care.
Total breakdown of law and order. Extensive looting and violence within the population.
Who would wish to survive ?
Hopefully, those who have their hand physically on the ‘Fire’ button (regardless of where in the world they may be), will know that pressing it is effectively committing suicide and thus will disregard the order.
Here in Central Texas, we get Sahara sand/dust all summer long. No lie; it’s crazy.
We would be a major target for attack as France is a nuclear state and President Macron has said tgat it cpuld be a possibility that Grance could provide a nuclear cover for Europe if the USA backs out.
Full of tanning and and nail salons, trout pout parlours and wine bars in that bunker. Some of those essex types you see on reality TV already look like they have been nuked!
