Nuclear Energy & Physics | Water in which the hydrogen is replaced by'heavy hydrogen'or deuterium. Because of the very low neutron absorption cross-section of deuterium, heavy water makes an excellent moderator and is used in, e. g. , CANDU and SGHWR nuclear reactors. It is present in ordinary water at one part in about 5000. Source: European Union. (references) |
