Does it necessarily require a violation of CoE? It could be we don't know enough about nuclear matter to know how to build or take apart nuclei with much less energy.
With a sledge hammer and a great deal of force a structure can be assembled or broken down without knowing much about the nature of the structural connections. However, if one knows the structural connections are screws rather than nails much less energy is required.
