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.

Does fission occur in the body?
No nuclear fission occurs in the body.
Spontaneous nuclear fission processes occur by?
chain reactions
Nuclear fission can occur in?
A critical assembly of fissile material
The rate at which reactions occur in a nuclear reactor is regulated by?
number of control rods
Can Nuclear fission occur in quarks?
Currently, it can't. May be it could be in future.
What part of the nuclear powerplant does the chain reaction occur?
In the reactor core, which is the volume filled with the fuel assemblies
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
Does fission occur in the body?
No nuclear fission occurs in the body.
What is a dangerous condition caused by overheating inside a nuclear reactor?
The dangerous condition that can occur in a nuclear reactor and due to overheating is a nuclear meltdown.
How a nuclear accident occur?
There are many ways a nuclear accident may occur, however most nuclear power plant accident occur due to problem in an reactor.

Why is fission important to the splitting of the atom?
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.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
No place, we have not yet determined how to make a fusion reactor. Only fusion bombs.
Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?
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.
