I won't quibble with your if the world goes nuclear scenario here but I would ask; how lnog can Mauritius self sustain without outside trade for fuel and food reserves?

It's an island that grows some food, of course, but how much relative to the population?

It definitely is not self-sufficient when it comes to food. But trade routes are pretty low tech things, we've been having them for thousands of years, I expect them to reappear quite fast.
