Neutrons are the particles that initiate a nuclear chain reaction by bombarding the nucleus of an atom, causing it to split and release more neutrons that can go on to bombard other nuclei and continue the reaction.
Yes, chain reactions take place in nuclear reactors. In a nuclear reactor, the chain reaction involves the splitting of uranium atoms (fission) which releases energy and more neutrons, leading to further fission reactions. Control rods are used to regulate and maintain the chain reaction at a steady rate.
One of the primary functions of a nuclear reactor is to maintain a chain reaction. Also, nuclear reactors are meant to provide a steady flow of neutrons.
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
Neutron particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction.
Neutrons are typically shot at an isotope's nucleus to trigger a nuclear chain reaction. When a neutron collides with a nucleus, it can cause the nucleus to split, releasing more neutrons that can trigger additional fission reactions in nearby nuclei, leading to a chain reaction.

In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
Neutrons are the particles captured by other nuclei in a nuclear chain reaction. When these neutrons are absorbed by other nuclei, it can trigger additional fission events, leading to a self-sustaining chain reaction.
