Heavy water is used in certain types ofnuclear reactors, where it acts as a neutron moderator to slow down neutrons so that they are more likely to react with the fissile uranium-235 than with uranium-238, which captures neutrons without fissioning. The CANDU reactor uses this design.

Solubility in water: Miscible

Chemical formula: D; 2O

Molar mass: 20.0276 g mol−1
