That is probably true, but remember that those are 10 years or so into the future, and that they don't want to spend to much assets on you. You are not the first group sent back into time, most of them have died horribly. Time travel is dangerous buisness.
So essentially they are just giving us a nuclear fuel rod, and steam generator. Also, how do they now. I though time travel was one way?

How about we switch to thermoionic nuclear. It's cheaper (less nuclear material involved), and safer.

Your character isn't entirely sure how it works. But he has overheard that they know if the test subjects have arrived to the past safely or not. Most of your predecessors have died. (And you can guess the reason why they sent so many of you is that most of you will die.)

That does work better yes.

Indeed. Or my computer does funny things when the internet is laggy. I am going out for a few hours, will update after that.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

You wake up, feeling outright horrible. Like the worst hangover you ever had multiplied tenfold, your head feels like it’s going to explode at any moment, and your stomach seems to have rebelled against your mind, but you are still able to keep the contents of your stomach where it is supposed to be. 
You don’t remember much of the travel, just a bright flash before you passed out.

At that moment you start to realise, YOU ARE ALIVE. You take a deep breathe. You can feel the grass beneath you, a breeze caress your skin. You are overwhelmed with joy. You try to stand up, most of your muscles are feeling a bit stiff, but you can move without a problem. You can see many men and women waking up just as you do. Although fewer than hundred,  it seems like most of the test-subjects survived.

For the first moment since you woke up, you take a look around you. You seems to have woken up in a thin forest. It is quite warm, probably around 20 degrees Celsius and partly cloudy. You can see the bookshelf lying a few meters in front of you, and the safe is not far away. However, you notice that you cant find the generator anywhere close by. Hopefully it survived the journey and is somewhere in the close vicinity, otherwise you will ave an even harder time to survive.

You stand up, you can see many of the survivors gather up fifty meter or so in front of you. While you are the designated leader, and do carry the rifle, you might need to do something if you want to establish authority, depending on how you want to rule.

What do you do?

Get up, locate a rock or something else to use as a podium, stand on it, and get everyone's attention.

Still a bit sore you try to clamber your way up on a large stone. It is now becoming clear clear that you are lucky in comparison to most of the survivors. Around you, you can se dead men and women, with one ore several limbs lost. Others have heavy scars all over their body, some have broken bones and others are just passed out.
It is however way more people who survived this than you expected.

With your rifle strapped on your back you are surprised how easily it is for you to climb. In less than half a minute you look down on the other survivors, quite proud of yourself. Your athletic body might be one of the reasons why the journey didn’t hurt you as much as the others. Those who are close by take notice of you, maybe impressed by the feat you just put of. At least you have some attention now, but what will you do?

I think we should use a burn-stuff generator. It would last for far longer, and we might even be able to build a replacement for it (as long as we can figure out how it works).

Make speech. Tell everyone to get the injured into a group so we can keep them safe/heal them.
