At random I looked up some facts on two different containment buildings for nuclear
reactors in the USA, I assume others are similar. The wall on one was 3.9 feet thick
and made of concrete lined with 1/4 inch steel plate, the other was 3 feet thick lined
with 2 inch steel plate. I think even a 747 would have trouble blasting through that.
The foundation of both (China syndrome protection) was about 10 feet thick.
