I don't know if you've noticed, fam, but our industries require a lot of things in order to work, and they won't work if most of those things are blown to hell. Advanced technologies require advanced infrastructure, and it will take a long, long time to rebuild.

Even if almost everything is destroyed, some survivors would find amidst the ruins some books, and use them to build electricity, industries, etc. Some survivors might be engineers or scientists themselves, which would expedite this process.
The only major difference I could see is that in a post-apocalyptic world, luxuries would be hard to find. The main industries would be pharmaceuticals, food, transportation, and the newspaper.

Hell, the Tandy era NCR would be a good model to go off of if the surface is at all habitable.

Technology doesn't just require knowledge, that's idealist bullshit. If you gave the Romans a schematic of a steam engine or gun, they still wouldn't be able to build it, because they don't have the tools, the materials, and the infrastructure to build it. Most of those things would be destroyed in a nuclear exchange, which would severely limit the surviving industries and hamper their recovery. We won't become cavemen, but socialism is gonna be a far-off prospect when you can't even build a tractor.
Also, OP is a fucking retard. "Mutants"? Seriously? Radiation kills you and turns your children into cripples, it doesn't turn you into a 'mutant'. The challenges faced in a post-nuclear society will be the same as with any other collapse of society - ensuring you have the basic resources needed to survive and defending yourself from other groups. It's gonna look a lot more like Sarajevo than Fallout.
