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 n
Where 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 lab equipment is used to research californium?
Californium is prepared by nuclear reactions in nuclear reactors.
What are Controlled nuclear chain reactions?
Those reactions that take place in functioning nuclear reactors (i.e not Chernobyl or Fukushima when the accidents happened).
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
Why is uranium a non- renewable fuel?
Because uranium atoms disappear by nuclear fission an other nuclear reactions in nuclear reactors.
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.

Americium is an artificial chemical element obtained in nuclear reactors.
What chemicals are in nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not produced by chemical reactions
How else are nuclear reactions unlike chemical reactions?
In nuclear reactions the atom itself changes while molecules and/or structural organisation of atoms do in chemical and physical changes.
