Q. The critical mass of a fissionable material can be reduced by:

Nuclei

Solution:

Critical mass is the amount of fissionable material which can self sustain the chain reaction in it, this can be reduced by putting a surrounding shield from which the neutrons can get reflected and reused in the fission process
