The 97 year premise comes from the supposition that most of the nukes used, were hydrogen bombs. If they were A-bombs then 97 years would never be enough.

And of course now with this scenario of the meltdown of multiple nuclear reactors around the world, it makes sense to say that they'd all die. Because that at least would be true. Soil, air, water, all would become so saturated with radioactivity that only insects and bacteria would be able to survive. Unless of course they conveniently found a massive bunker where they hide from the radiation.

The worst part about all of this, is that the producers are pushing the show into a corner and the results might be tragic. Like getting the show cancelled.
