Dear Lisa,
You should activate photonuclear effects to get fission with an electron
beam by PHOTONUC card (see fluka manual at this section).
But remember that there is a warning in the release notes about
photofission: "There is a known issue with photofission: the
photonuclear interaction model is not up-to-date with respect to the
present fission model. As a result, photofission can be heavily
underestimated at low photon energies for fissile materials. A fix is
already implemented in the development tree and it will be included in
the next full release."

Hope it helps.
Best.
Sebastien.
