Are fireworks nuclear fission?

No. Fireworks rely on chemical rather than nuclear energy. They are driven by an oxidation-reduction reaction. Fireworks were developed centuries before we discovered nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission: When an element breaks apart to form lighter elements and other sub-atomic particles. Nuclear fusion: When two lighter elements fuse to form heavier ones.

What is the chemical equation for the nuclear reactions that take place in Nuclear Reactors?

It is a set of nuclear equations, not chemical equations. No there are too many of them to write, however they can be summarized by the equation:U235 + n --> light fission product + heavy fission product + x nWhere x varies from 2 to 5 or 6.The mass of the light fission product varies from about 70 to about 115.The mass of the heavy fission product varies from about 115 to about 160.


What is the starting material for nuclear fission?

You must not ask "what element", but "what isotope". Uranium-235 is one example of an ISOTOPE that is appropriate for nuclear fission. Uranium-238 is the same for chemical reactions, but for purposes of nuclear reactions, different isotopes must be considered to be different types of atoms.
