Energy deposition by Fission fragments

Dear Experts,

I am trying to simulate energy deposited by Fission Fragments in a test Fission Chamber made up of U238. I am using DETECT card to understand how energy is deposited by each event in the coating material or ionising gas. In the U238 coating material, the max deposited energy per event goes up to ~400 MeV. Is it due to fission created by secondary neutrons? If so, can I score the number of fission produced by primary and secondary neutrons separately?

Additionally, I understand from the documentation that FLUKA currently models only prompt neutrons in fission processes and does not explicitly simulate delayed neutron emission. Could you please confirm if this is still the case?
