I recently went to see Oppenheimer. In the film they talk about neutron bombardment to split an atom.
How exactly do you “fire” neutrons? I assume its not with some sort of gun lol
Do you put some material in a confined spce and the neutrons fizz around, eventually splitting an atom?
What is done practically?
Explanations welcome, thx

When I read “I assume it’s not with a gun”, I laughed because in Chernobyl, neutrons are described as the bullet there.
Wondering which part is the gun though.
