Heavy water
 scroll 
Deuterium oxide, D2O; water containing two
deuterium atoms instead of the two light hydrogen atoms. Natural water
contains one deuterium atom per 6,500 molecules H2O. D2O
has a low neutron absorption cross-section. It is therefore applicable
as a moderator in natural-uranium-fuelled reactors.
