It's located in the policycoreutils rpm [ /usr/sbin/semodule ].
However, I am not sure if you should be using it - semodule is a utility 
which adds/removes modules from policy. If you don't know where it is 
located, how do you know that it has broken your system, and how to fix 
it using semodule?

If what you're trying to do is disable selinux, the way to do that is to 
pass the selinux=0 [ or was it selinux=off ?] parameter to the kernel at 
boot time. It's better to pass [enforcing=0] instead, which should fix 
any selinux issues you're having, continue to label files correctly, and 
keep logging on, so you can identify the problem [ by looking at 
/var/log/audit/audit.log ], and possibly report a bug.
