In the nucleus of the atoms of the elements concerned
transmutation - same as the alchemists called it.
In a nuclear reaction, matter is converted into energy.
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
No, thorium emitting a beta particle is a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction. In a beta decay process, a neutron in the thorium nucleus converts into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This type of decay is a form of radioactive decay, which is a nuclear process involving changes in the nucleus of an atom.
The part of a nuclear reactor where the nuclear reaction takes place is called the reactor core. It typically contains the fuel rods, control rods, and coolant necessary for sustaining and controlling the nuclear reaction.

Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.

A nuclear reaction does not involve the breaking or forming of chemical bonds between atoms. Instead, it involves changes in the nucleus of atoms, such as nuclear fission or fusion. Additionally, a nuclear reaction does not typically release energy through the rearrangement of electrons in an atom's outer shell like a chemical reaction does.
If an atom undergoes a chemical reaction, it involves rearrangement of electrons in the outer shell to form new chemical bonds. On the other hand, if it undergoes a nuclear reaction, it involves changes in the atomic nuclei, resulting in the formation of different elements or isotopes. To determine whether it was a chemical or nuclear reaction, observe whether there are changes in the electron configuration or in the atomic number and mass of the atom.

The nucleus of an atom is the part that takes part in nuclear reactions. It consists of protons and neutrons, which are involved in processes such as fission and fusion. The electrons surrounding the nucleus are not typically involved in nuclear reactions.

A nuclear reaction is not considered a living thing.
