Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.

In the core of a nuclear reactor
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.

The chain reaction can be controlled, and it can be stopped. It is controlled in a nuclear power plant, and it is stopped when the plant shuts down, as it does periodically for refueling.
nuclear fission
False, the fission in nuclear reactors is controlled with the movable control rods.

It is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs.

By the control rods and by the moderator.

No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.
