(a) Half- life can be define as the time taken for a radioactive material to disintegrate (or
decay) to half its initial size (or mass). ( 2 marks)
(b) Chain reaction is a self-sustaining reaction which once it is initiated, it is capable of
maintaining itself until all the reactant are used up. ( 2 marks)
(c) The speed of a nuclear reaction can be controlled by:
 Using a boron rod to reduce the speed of the neutron so that their collision with
the radioactive material becomes ineffective (1 mark)
 By using a graphite rod to absorb all the neutron so that there is no neutron to
initiate the nuclear reaction. (1 mark)
(d) Safety precautions in handling a radioactive substance:
 Radioactive substances must be stored or transported in a thick lead box.
 Personnel working with radioactive material must be properly kitted with
appropriate apparel that will prevent their body from coming in direct contact with
the radioactive material.
 There should be proper assess control to the storage room of radioactive
material
 Personnel bear a radiation monitoring badge always
