At less than critical mass, there are fewer "targets" for neutrons to strike, fission, and release more neutrons. As a result, the reaction dies out.
No, a catalyst will not change reaction enthalpy. If it does so, then it is NOT a catalyst but a reactant in stead!
The critical mass depends on the shape; I don't think there is an upper limit to that.For the case of a sphere, the critical mass for U-235 is 52 kg. The corresponding diameter of the sphere is 17 cm.
The age of the material.
Uranium will blast only when a mass of enriched uranium attain the critical mass.
what was the critical catalyst that led kodak to start taking the japanese market seriously

Critical Mass - Catholic rock - was created in 1996.

The primary catalyst for promoting mass consumption in the marketplace is credit. This means that every consumer in the market can get the product or service even without money.
Critical Mass - Threshold album - was created on 2002-09-02.

Yes a catalyst can be reused because it unchanged chemically or in mass at the end of a reaction. However, this cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalyst
The distance doesn't depend on the mass.
We know that critical mass can be achieved in a nuclear reactor. If it could not, we'd not be able to get a chain reaction and generate heat to generate power. Reactors don't have critical mass when the control rods are in, but pull the rods, start the reactor up and away you go!
