There are about 121 to 193 fuel bundles loaded into a PWR reactor core. If you are talking about a BWR, that ranges from 368 - 800 fuel assemblies per core.

How many fuel assemblies in its core does a large modern nuclear power plant?
It depends on the particular design and the design objectives. One plant that I worked at had 137 control rods, each having four bundles, for a total bundle count of 548 assemblies. Each assembly had 62 fuel rods and two water rods in an 8 x 8 matrix.
What is core of nuclear reactor?
In the PWR and BWR types it is a matrix of fuel assemblies stabilised with zircaloy fittings, and with control rods in certain specified channels within this matrix. This is where the nuclear heat is generated, and this heat is carried away by a flow of very pure water circulated by large pumps and at a high pressure.
How much of Uranium is used in nuclear fuel?
A typical PWR has fuel assemblies of 200-300 rods each, and a large reactor would have about 150-250 such assemblies with 80-100 tonnes of uranium in all. It produces electric power in the order of 900 to 1500 MW.
What is a part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction?
Nuclear fission takes place in the nuclear fuel rods that are placed in the reactor core that is situated in the reactor pressure vessel. The reactor pressure vessel is usually situated inside the reactor containment.
Occurs when a large nucleus splits releasing energy and two smaller nuclei?
Nuclear fission.

What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
Why do nuclear changes like nuclear fission result in such large ammounts of enegry?
This is related to the large forces between nucleons.
