I normally go with a later TEOTWAWKI Event happening to allow for the project to have the time to stockpile all the resources and personnel to be sufficient for rebuilding after a nuke exchange. 1962 to 2012 gives the project the Fifty years to do this and develop the extremely high-tech gear and equipment that they've got acess too.
I do have in my timeline that i've been putting together the initial cryo-hibernation tube technology as having been started by a group of Nazi Scientists who used those in concentration camps for human experimental guinea pigs.
This also makes it easier to explain something like Damocles and the remote controlled unmanned vehicles that it uses to protect itself. And it also allows for NEW players to get into the game world and enjoy it.
It's one of the things i enjoyed that Chris said that GMs and Players would be able to decide when TEOTWAWKI Event actually happened.

Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
