What is claimed is: 1. A tool for use in a wellbore, comprising: an activation assembly having: a support structure, a reactive layer on the support structure, the reactive layer including an intermetallic material, and an electrically conductive protective layer covering the reactive layer to protect the reactive layer from electrical discharge; and a component to be activated by the activation assembly. 2. The tool of claim 1, wherein the component comprises an explosive. 3. The tool of claim 2, wherein the explosive comprises a propellant. 4. The tool of claim 2, further comprising a perforating gun, the explosive being in the perforating gun. 5. The tool of claim 2, wherein the activation assembly is generally shaped as a disk, the disk contacted to an end of the explosive. 6. The tool of claim 1, wherein the reactive layer comprises a reactive nanofoil that contains the intermetallic material. 7. The tool of claim 6, wherein the intermetallic material is formed of one of the following compositions: (1) aluminum and nickel; (2) aluminum and palladium; and (3) titanium and boron. 8. The tool of claim 1, wherein the component comprises an explosive, wherein the activation assembly has a surface that contacts a surface of the explosive such that initiation of the reactive layer causes substantially simultaneous initiation of an entire surface of the explosive. 9. A tool for use in a wellbore, comprising: an activation assembly having: a support structure, a reactive layer on the support structure, the reactive layer formed of a pyrotechnic material, and an electrically conductive protective layer covering the reactive layer to protect the reactive layer from electrical discharge; and an explosive to be activated by the activation assembly, wherein the explosive is generally cylindrical in shape, and wherein the activation assembly is wrapped around a curved surface of the explosive. 10. The tool of claim 9, wherein the support structure, reactive layer, and electrically conductive protective layer are generally cylindrical in shape. 11. A tool comprising: a component; and an activation assembly to activate the component, the activation assembly comprising: a support structure; a reactive layer comprising a pyrotechnic material; an electrically conductive protective layer that covers the reactive layer to protect the reactive layer from electrostatic discharge, wherein the reactive layer positioned between the support structure and the protective layer, and wherein the activation assembly is generally cylindrical in shape to wrap around the component. 12. The tool of claim 11, wherein the pyrotechnic material comprises an intermetallic material. 13. The tool of claim 12, wherein the intermetallic material comprises one of the following compositions: (1) aluminum and nickel; (2) aluminum and palladium; and (3) titanium and boron. 14. The tool of claim 11, wherein the pyrotechnic material comprises one of (1) titanium; (2) potassium-perchlorate; and (3) zirconium. 15. The tool of claim 11, further comprising electrical leads connected to points on the reactive layer to couple an electrical energy to the reactive layer from an energy storage device. 16. The tool of claim 11, wherein the component comprises a generally cylindrical explosive wrapped by the activation assembly.
