Nuclear fission happens spontaneously in nature. Uranium-235 does this, and is the only commonly occurring natural isotope that does.
Nuclear fission can be induced by crashing a neutron into a fissionable atom. Some things other than Uranium-235 are fissionable, notably Uranium-238. Fission has been induced in various experiments. It happens in nuclear reactors and in nuclear bombs.
