Nuclear reactors are controlled by changing the geometry of the fuel rods to slow down the reaction, dropping them into moderators, or removing them from the hot part of the reactor.
The old phrase (from my day) was "ax the mandrel, she's running HOT!" meaning drop all the fuel rods into the moderator structure.
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
A controlled nuclear reaction is one in which the average number of reactions per second does not increase.
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.

Those reactions that take place in functioning nuclear reactors (i.e not Chernobyl or Fukushima when the accidents happened).
Chicago, 1942
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.

we will start with this statement cadmium rods have the property to absorb nutrons now we know that for nuclear reactions it is necessary for the neutrons to strike the nucleus of the atom and thus with the help of cadmium rods we can control the number of neutrons striking the nucleus and we can control our nuclear reactions
