Answer:
Main uses are,
- Deuterium finds use in heavy water moderated fission reactors, usually has heavy water, to slow neutrons without absorbing too many of them.
- Most fusion reactor designs involve deuterium, often with tritium.
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging uses deuterium as a solvent because its nuclear spin properties make its signal easy to filter out.
- Neutron scattering techniques use deuterium to reduce scattering noise in experiments.
- Deuterium is a stable isotopic tracer that is detectable using infrared spectrometry or mass spectrometry.
- Deuterated drugs act differently from drugs made using normal hydrogen, offering a host of medical possibilities
