Answer:

  1. A uranium-235 atom absorbs a neutron and fissions into two new atoms (fission fragments), releasing three new neutrons and some binding energy.
  2. One of those neutrons is absorbed by an atom of uranium-238 and does not continue the reaction.

Explanation:

Hence the main application of uranium fission today is in thermal reactors fuelled by U-235 and incorporating a moderator such as water to slow the neutrons down. The most common examples of this are light water reactors*. ... Other heavy nuclei that are fissile (implying thermal fission) are U-233, Pu-239 and Pu-241.
