    A chain reaction dies out sometimes. Why?

    Answer:

                    A chain reaction may die out to any of the following causes: 1. Excessive neutron leakage if the size of the fission-able material is smaller than the critical size. 2. Fast neutrons may escape the fissionable material without causing further fissions. 3. Some neutrons may suffer non-fission capture by \[_{92}^{238}U\] nuclei.
