Thus, deuterium accounts for about 0.0156% by number (0.0312% by mass) of all hydrogen in the ocean: 4.85 × 10 13 tonnes of deuterium – mainly as HOD (or 1 HO 2 H or 1 H 2 HO) and only rarely as D 2 O (or 2 H 2 O) (deuterium oxide, also known as heavy water) – in 1.4 × 10 18 tonnes of water.
For instance, the heavy water used in CANDU reactors is a highly enriched water mixture that is mostly deuterium oxide D 2 O, but also some hydrogen-deuterium oxide and a smaller amount of ordinary water H 2 O. It is 99.75% enriched by hydrogen atom-fraction; that is, 99.75% of the hydrogen atoms are of the heavy type; however, heavy water in ...

In practice, doses of doubly labeled water for metabolic work are prepared by simply mixing a dose of deuterium oxide (heavy water) (90 to 99%) with a second dose of H 2 18 O, which is water which has been separately enriched with 18 O (though usually not to a high level, since doing this would be expensive, and unnecessary for this use), but ...
CANDU's first success was the sale of early CANDU designs to India. In 1963, an agreement was signed for export of a 200 MWe power reactor based on the Douglas Point reactor. The success of the deal led to the 1966 sale of a second reactor of the same design.
Dennis Whyte, who headed MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center and is now at a commercial spinoff, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, said the NIF ignition had a gain (the ratio of power released to ...
Deuterium is a naturally-occurring, stable (non-radioactive) isotope of hydrogen with a nucleus consisting of one proton and one neutron. A nucleus of normal hydrogen (protium, 1 H) consists of one proton only, and no neutron. Deuterium thus has about twice the atomic mass as 1 H. Heavy water molecules contain two deuteriums instead of two 1 H
