Yesterday evening (whilst painting indoors) I listened to a BBC Radio 4 story via the daughter of Leo Szilard, who on July 4 1934 filed the first patent application for the method of producing a nuclear chain reaction - nuclear explosion.
The program explained how prior to 1938 the idea of fission related to firing a proton into a nucleus, and Leo realised that neutron initiation would be easier. Seems he went to America where another Patent was filed.
BBC News - A Point of View: The man who dreamed of the atom bomb
After the war Leo was not written about in nuclear history, though his co-worker Fermi became well known.

So either a proton or a neutron can split an atom and release energy, but then so too can an electron under the guise of 'electron capture' where the electron has been so excited or empowered to overcome orbital forces, this being either by photonic or electro-magneto-gravitationally induced impact !
Though woe would betide any grant funded scientist who publishes such information,
and so the research WE fund via thousands of extremely well paid scientist remains secreted from our benefit !!!!!
