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 ...

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.
Deuterium-depleted water has less deuterium (2 H) than occurs in nature at sea level. [1] 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.
Since our first, very brief successful attempt at fusion, more than 70 years ago, its promise of clean, cheap, and abundant energy has eluded us.
In its pure form it may be called tritium oxide (T 2 O or 3 H 2 O) or super-heavy water. Pure T 2 O is a colorless liquid, [1] and it is corrosive due to self-radiolysis. Diluted, tritiated water is mainly H 2 O plus some HTO (3 HOH). It is also used as a tracer for water transport studies in life-science research.
