dude the basic principle of all that is quite obvious for anyone who's been on wikipedia, oh and not to brag i'm 14
Deuterium Oxide (D2O) is used in nuclear reactors to slow down neutrons, as "fast neutrons" have a lower chance of causing fission, the Deuterium Oxide makes the "fast neutrons" into "slow neutrons" causing more effeciant fission. deuterium oxide IS stable and does not cause nuclear fission. Deuterium has 1 neutron 1 proton and obviosly 1 electron having a total mass of aproxamatly 2.2 AMU (Atomic Mass Units), deuterium does do fission by itself with tritium or protium (deuterium with 1 more neutron is tritium because it has the mass of 3 AMU and Is radoactive, protium is any hydrogen atom with more that 2 neutrons and IS radioactive.) as you can see I know loads about nuclear physics,, not to brag or anything but I am only 12 XD
Hey just to let you know I used this in my rubbish thing I've been working on but I put credit to you for this piston in the description :D
Bardzo ciekawy reaktor :D oczywicie leci +
yes but it seems Deuterium is different from DUETarium.
Deuterium isnt used in nuclear reactuors, but people are experimenting using deuterium for fusion reactors (wont finish before 2080, they say). Deuterium isnt radioactive, but under extreme heat and pressure (like on our sun) it starts fusion. Deuterium is just another isotope of hydrogen.
AND you can search up Deuterium oxide it is real XD
XD wanna bet You can search up "Deutarium" which is used in nuclear reactors.
deuterium isnt nuclear in any way, its reaction isnt real, uranium is nuclear, its used in NUCLEAR reactors, if you wdont know that you must be retarded
XD i agree with Alfa, in my books a nuclear reactor is this with dueterium as its feul not uranium but still better compact technology then i could ever hope to see 1+ *hugs 8765tj*
