You sure could, but no one ever will, at least not commercially, because the amount of money needed to buy a powerful, portable neutron source, plus a large enough supply of fissionable material, is outrageous. Not to mention that the majority of said items are exclusively sold to government labs, oilfield services, and the military. And, the risk of radioactive contamination and environmental exposure far outweigh any increase of power efficiency. I'm afraid that we're going to be stuck with the good old-fashioned chemical batteries for awhile.
Check out the related link I added below if you'd like some more information on portable neutron sources.

What are the disadvantages of nuclear fission and fusion?
For fusion, the main disadvantage is that nobody has been able to make it work. However it does have promise and if it can be developed it will not produce the dangerous fission products that fission does. For fission, see reply to question 'What are the disadvantages of nuclear fission power'
Compare and contrast nuclear fission and nuclear fu sion?
Fission is when two particles are split to make energy while fusion combines to particles. The result of fission is usually used up radioactive material while fusion results in helium. Fusion makes more energy than fission
What is fission product?
Fission products are the fragments resulting from the fission of heavy nuclids during nuclear fission process
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
Is uranium on the sun?
no. the sun uses fussion, not fission. fussion requires two hydrogens that "fuse" to make a helium, which gives off a lot more energy then fission. It does not require uranium.
What are facts about fission?
Fission is splitting of atoms into two parts.We use Fission to make light and heat for Earth.We use Fission sometimes for medicine.Fission is located in the middle of the Star.Have less energy than Fusion.Nika S.S.
What about the atom can make an atomic bomb?
Fission and/or fusion.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
10 ambitious words?
Antidisestablishmentarianism, technophobe, discombobulate, totalitarianism, nuclear-fission-battery, ambitious, electromagnetically, electromagnetism, quantum-mass and longevity...
What can be used by nuclear energy?
Uranium is used to make energy by fission
Would fission make the star shine?
There would not be enough fuel for that.
Why does the atomic bomb make an explosion?
uncontrolled nuclear fission and/or fusion.

For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
How do you get out of the hotel in fallout 3?
you need to find a fission battery and give it to one of the rangers, or use it on the elevator if you have high enough repair. the rest is self-explanetory
