    It isn't necessary, but helpful if you eat meat. If you don't, you should still include something with lots of protein, life tofu jerky or dried beans.

    As radiation kills fairly quickly when exposed directly, it is unlikely that they would come asking for food.

    It would take a very large nuclear exchange to cause a nuclear winter. It's possible the resulting fallout could kill most people before there was a significant drop in global temperatures.

    No, radiation will not turn people into zombies. If a person is exposed to that much radiation, they will simply die.

    Yes, radiation will go though fiberglass like paper, and unless the walls of the metal container are made of very thick lead, radiation will also easily go through that, too.
