Color: Dark blue, turns light blue or white when cooled, and turns into an even darker shade of blue when heated.

Deuterium is Hydrogen, but with an extra neutron. Deuterium Oxide is ²H₂O, water, but the hydrogen is deuterium.

DEUT spreads it's life value to other DEUT in a radius of 2 pixels, expands and contracts depending on the temperature.

DEUT's volume and temperature is inversely proportional to its life.Cooling DEUT will compress it, increases its life value, making it explode more violently when exposed to neutrons. Conversely, heating DEUT will make it expand (up to about 5000 times its original size), making it explode less violently with NEUT (but there is more of it to explode). Also, the reaction speed is proportional to air pressure.

The life value can be changed using the console, which will compress/expand DEUT without altering the temperature. Without the console, DEUT can reach a maximum life of 6000 at 0K (-273.15°C). DEUT can also be compressed by increasing the gravity. With high gravity, DEUT can reach a maximum life of about 25000.

Shooting electrons into DEUT will increase its life value and cool it gradually to 0K.

It is safe to try this at home—real Deuterium Oxide, or heavy water, or D₂O, does not react with neutrons and is generally safe, *unless* you are exposed to very large amounts of it for a very long time. Deuterium Oxide itself is not radioactive, but normally contains higher than average amounts of tritium, which is radioactive.

Reactions

Deuterium Oxide will react violently when excessively exposed to neutrons or protons. With NEUT, it creates heat, NEUT, and pressure. With protons, it creates heat, PROT, and negative pressure. The amount of these effects depends on the life of the DEUT. The higher the life, the greater the reaction.

Creation

Deuterium Oxide can be created by mixing WATR with GLOW.

Uses

Because of its reaction with NEUT, it can be used for bombs or of course nuclear reactors.
