A Reactor Building is a general term for a building that houses a reactor of some type. In particular it often refers to a building containing a nuclear reactor. This can also be used to refer to pressure sealed buildings containing nuclear reactors, though it would be more correct to call them containment buildings.
It should also be noted that although some buildings containing nuclear reactors are containment buildings, not all are. Notably the Soviet RBMK reactors were not housed in containment buildings. This was a major contributing factor to the Chernobyl accident on April 26, 1986.
