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.
The type of uranium used in nuclear power plants is uranium-235. It is the isotope of uranium that is fissile, meaning it can sustain a nuclear chain reaction.
Nuclear fission reactions are used to create power in nuclear power plants. In a fission reaction, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This energy is used to generate heat, which in turn produces steam to drive turbines and generate electricity.
nuclear plants because the fission reaction releases lots of radioactive particles causing radioactivity..
Nuclear fission is the type of nuclear reaction where one nucleus breaks into multiple smaller nuclei. This process typically releases a large amount of energy and is the basis of nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
A chain reaction is a type of reaction that keeps going on its own once it starts due to the products of the reaction continuing to fuel the reaction. Nuclear fission reactions in nuclear power plants and explosions are examples of chain reactions that continue on their own once initiated.

Nuclear fission
Commercial power generation predominantly uses nuclear fission as the primary type of nuclear reaction to produce electricity. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process. This energy is harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
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.
A nuclear fission reaction occurs in a nuclear power plant. This is the process where the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat, which is used to generate electricity.
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
