Nuclear fission splits an atom of one element into two atoms of two different elements. This is not usually called transmutation. However, fission is accompanied by subsequent steps, which usually include transmutation.
These can happen by fission where a nucleus splits into two parts on absorbing a neutron, or by radioactive decay.
Nuclear energy
They have a starter in a bomb and what this will do is shoot a neutron in the nuclear fuel starting a chain reaction
No nuclear fission occurs in the body.
Not nuclear, it takes an extremely hight temperature for Fusion to occur with in the sun or any other star. ADDED: Yes "nuclear". Fusion is one of the two type of nuclear reaction, the other being Fission.
A nuclear disaster may occur when the radioactive materials are mishandled and which may lead to radioactive exposure or a chain reaction of nuclear fission, fusion. Most of these disasters are induced by the man made mistakes.

The fission happens in the fuel, which is usually in fuel rods inside the reactor. The rods are spaced at a particular distance apart and fill the reactor.
Currently, it can't. May be it could be in future.
The term fission generally means to split into parts. When we talk about splitting the atom, we generally apply the term nuclear fission to the process. Nuclear fission, the breaking apart of an atomic nucleus, can occur spontaneously, or it can occur as the result of the bombarding of a nucleus with radiation. Nuclear fission is covered in another related question, and it is linked below.
