| 41. | First, tritium is far more expensive than deuterium.
|
| 42. | Deuterium is not radioactive, and does not represent a significant toxicity hazard.
|
| 43. | The deuterium fluoride laser constructionally resembles a rocket engine.
|
| 44. | The reactor uses heavy water ( deuterium ) as a moderator and coolant.
|
| 45. | Similarly, replacement of one or the other with deuterium will generate enantiomers.
|
| 46. | The deuterium then emits light as it transitions back to its initial state.
|
| 47. | The most effective moderating nuclei are hydrogen, deuterium, beryllium and carbon.
|
| 48. | Typically, deuterium gas is injected into this chamber.
|
| 49. | Because of its low cost, deuterium is commonly used by Fusor amateurs.
|
| 50. | Fusion of deuterium or tritium produces a fast neutron and is therefore radioactive.
