fission
It depends on the type of power plant. Some of the most common is coal (which is used to make steam to create power) one of the least common in the us is nuclear power.
Steam turbines are external combustion engines.
The nuclear industry is linked to chemical industry but it is more complex: metallurgy, mechanics, nuclear physics, chemistry, etc.
Yes, the heat of reaction is negative therefore indicating an exothermic reaction
There are a great many different kinds of power plants in the world. These power plants can be run by water for example.
Nuclear fission
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
nuclear plants because the fission reaction releases lots of radioactive particles causing radioactivity..

Nuclear fission
Nuclear power plants are self starting because there is always a small number of fissions taking place in the uranium fuel, so as soon as the reactor is made critical by withdrawing the control rods the chain reaction starts.

Energy comes from either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Each nuclear reaction has unique characteristics, and there are answered questions here that can enlighten an investigator as to the particulars.
Nuclear power plants (BWR, PWR, AGR, etc.)
I don't think it is much different to those working in conventional power plants, but one additional type of duty is Radiation Health Physics, which is not needed except on nuclear plants
