Abstract
Concrete has played a significant role in nuclear architecture, serving as the primary building material for structures related to nuclear disasters and power stations. In Hiroshima, the A-Bomb Dome, a concrete building that survived the atomic bomb, became a famous war memorial. Nuclear power stations also utilized concrete to encase reactors and store radioactive waste. The Chornobyl nuclear power station in Ukraine is known for its concrete structures, including the sarcophagus that covers the damaged reactor. Concrete has also been used in the construction of underground bunkers and the containment of radioactive waste. [Extracted from the article]
