I was really curious about this claim, and as it turns out, a concrete company advertising their product as “blast resistant” is somewhat credible? If you look at the pictures of Hiroshima, the city was leveled except the concrete buildings, which still stood:

Hell, the Hiroshima Genbaku dome was directly under the detonation, and the building survived. You can even visit it today:
Of course, it won’t protect the occupants, but hey, your house will still be standing after you die!
