A containment building, in its most common usage, is a steel or concrete structure enclosing a nuclear reactor. It is designed to, in any emergency, contain the escape of radiation despite pressures in the range of 60 to 200 psi ( 410 to 1400 kPa ). The containment is the final barrier to radioactive release, the first being the fuel ceramic itself, the second being the metal fuel cladding tubes, the third being the reactor vessel and coolant system.

located? you mean inside?
a nuclear reactor has a thickness of 8 inches.. that's thick..
you should also know that the building it is contained in is 1.2 METERS thick.. now that is thick..
by the way, to answer your question, a nuclear reactor core is located INSIDE a CONTAINMENT BUILDING... that's what our teacher told us... hmmm..
