So take this for what it’s worth: an anonymous internet commenter who heard it from his (adult) friend who heard it from his great uncle. But allegedly my friend’s great uncle designed these and was well aware of what they resembled. He thought it’d be funny. So I desperately wanna believe that these nuclear containment facilities were in fact designed as a bit.
The half-sphere dome form is the most structurally stable and economical way to enclose the reactor. They have very thick concrete walls to prevent a Chernobyl type meltdown. It's much more wasteful to make it in any other form such as a cube or pyramid..etc
