Building an underground panic room, from inside an old well?

[Norcon]

I'd stay clear of the well.
You want a big digger and excavate a deep hole in the ground. A 22 ton machine will take you down a good 5m from ground level.
We use Komatsu and Daewoo 360's, though we rarely excavate.
Concrete a base and then shutter walls around. Will need to be water tight.
Then slab the top with pre stressed bisons and more concrete poured over.
Leaving a hole for access. Then use well liners to take it to the top.
Then backfill over.
And a vent pipe to the well maybe. Macerator for the No 1's and 2's.

As this is a UK site, we probably don't have the required specialist knowledge, as despite having Europe's biggest nuclear arsenal, we (the public) were just expected to fry, hide under the kitchen table or die a gallant, but otherwise slow lingering death

I think I'll be safe enough in my house. The amount of lead paint on the walls, ceilings etc will surely protect me from radiation.

you may have unlimited drinking water but what are you going to do about sewage disposal?

I guess i could connect a toilet to the sewage system of my house, but the problem is if the sewage pipes are higher up than the toilet...

Call me an old cynic but you may also so find that in the event of World War III and the destruction of mankind your local water company may have a little trouble maintaining your sewers!

Having seen the film 'threads' which is about a nuclear attack on the uk. I highly recommend being directly beneath the nuclear explosion.

No one's gonna nuke Sweden, that's where all the fit birds are.

And if someone's after you, it's cheaper to buy a gun!
