Answer:

Yes.....

Step-by-step explanation:

the decay half-life of a radioactive material can be changed. Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously changes to a lower-energy state and spits out a bit of radiation. ... It is impossible to predict when an individual radioactive atom will decay.
