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.
