Well...

what you want is a two stage product called an AmBe or a PuBe: an americium beryllium or a plutonium beryllium source.

The radioactive portion supplies the energy to knock away a neutron from the beryllium. its what we have to check our neutron meters for operation.

Uranium 235 and Plutonium come to mind.
