Dear Oleosi,
Assuming that your previous variables nuclear and extended are correct
I suggest you to create a tag variable on the dataset.
egen taghh=tag(HHId)
Then,
total nuclear if taghh==1
total extended if taghh==1
you can use this tag variable with other commands and get same result
(such as table, count)
Thanks,
Chamara
