\nHeavy water is a form of water in which the hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron (compared to normal hydrogen, protium, which has one proton and no neutrons). The chemical formula for heavy water is D\u2082O or \u00b2H\u2082O. The standard chemical name for D\u2082O is Deuterium oxide.
\n<\/section>\n
\nHeavy water is water composed of deuterium and oxygen. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen.
\n<\/section>\n
\nHeavy water is used primarily as a moderator and coolant in certain types of nuclear reactors (specifically, Pressurized Heavy-Water Reactors like the CANDU reactor) because deuterium absorbs fewer neutrons than normal hydrogen.
