One half-serious idea for nuclear power:

To start a nuclear reaktor, you have to fill two train wagons with whatever operating material the reactor uses, outift two trains with exoskeletons, then let those two trains drive those two wagons backwards on a collision course ending at the reactor core.

Well, the pattern should be familiar, even if used only with bombs

Why to do things normally, when you can take the most ridiculous way
Using explosives to initiate reaction would be more reasonable but it would still lead to create a bomb, not a controllable process.
