Neutron is directed to fall on the uranium which starts the fission reaction with the emission of three fast moving neutrons. These neutrons strike the moderator to slow down to be prepared for another strike with the fuel (uranium) for further fissions. When the neutrons slows down by the collisions with the moderator, they transfer their K.E to the moderator which appears as heat.
