nuclear physics - Is there something like "forced / induced electron-capture"?



I understand how electron-capture (also known as epsilon-decay) works and why it happens.


As far as I know we are able to do "induced fission", i.e. in nuclear reactors.


My question is: Is there a way to do (with our technology) something like "induced electron-capture"?


If so, how does it work? And if not, why isn't it possible?


I've been looking for an answer, but I couldn't find one on the internet.
