Neutron instrumentation | Neutron moderators
In nuclear engineering, a neutron moderator is a medium that reduces the speed of fast neutrons, ideally without capturing any, leaving them as thermal neutrons with only minimal (thermal) kinetic energy. These thermal neutrons are immensely more susceptible than fast neutrons to propagate a nuclear chain reaction of uranium-235 or other fissile isotope by colliding with their atomic nucleus. Water (sometimes called "light water" in this context) is the most commonly used moderator (roughly 75% of the world's reactors). Solid graphite (20% of reactors) and heavy water (5% of reactors) are the main alternatives. Beryllium has also been used in some experimental types, and hydrocarbons have been suggested as another possibility. (Wikipedia).

Nuclear Fission; splitting the atom for beginners: from fizzics.org
There are notes to support this video here:https://www.fizzics.org/nuclear-fission/ Nuclear Fission is the splitting of the nucleus of an atom into two or more parts by hitting it with a small particle, almost always a neutron (a proton would be repelled from the positive nucleus and an el

Teach Astronomy - Fission as an Energy Source
http://www.teachastronomy.com/ Fission is such an efficient energy source that humans have long tried to harness it. A massive atomic nucleus can be split by a neutron. Since the decay of a massive nucleus can also release a neutron, this raises the possibility of a chain reaction where
