Reactors are typically made from concrete,steel and lined with lead, the combination of these materials and built into a strong shape(bullet shaped or spherical shaped etc..) make up a nuclear reactor, these materials also absorb the radiation produced inside the nuclear reactor(lead absorbs gamma radiation and concrete absorbs neutron radiation).
