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.
Spontaneous nuclear fission processes occur by?
chain reactions
Which section of a nuclear reactor does nuclear fission occur?
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.
Where in the sun do most of the nuclear reactions occur?
At the center, where the gravitational pressure is highest.
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
What part of the nuclear powerplant does the chain reaction occur?
In the reactor core, which is the volume filled with the fuel assemblies
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.
Where can nuclear reactions occur?
One type of nuclear reactions is fusion. This usually occur under extreme conditions - extreme temperatures and pressures. This most commonly occurs in the center of stars (including our Sun); in some cases also on the surface of a star (when matter falls onto the star, temporarily producing the high temperatures required). So far, it it not economically practical to do this artificially (search for "fusion reactor") - except for the destructive H-bomb. Fusion reactions usually occur if sufficient amounts of Uranium or some other heavy elements come together. This is the case with a nuclear reactor, and an atomic bomb.

What does the inner core do for the sun?
That's where the nuclear reactions occur that keep it lit.
What is naturalization reaction?
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars

These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
In which year did the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear reactor occur?
1986, the same year as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.
