Deuterium in Nuclear Reactors
Deuterium is used in nuclear reactors, particularly in heavy water reactors, as a moderator to slow down neutrons without capturing them, which is crucial for sustaining a nuclear chain reaction. Heavy water, which contains deuterium, is used in some types of reactors, both for power generation and for producing isotopes for nuclear weapons. These reactors can operate on natural uranium without needing enriched uranium or graphite moderators, which can pose risks in the decommissioning phase. Additionally, deuterium is a key component in fusion reactor designs, where it is combined with tritium to produce a high-yield reaction, though commercial nuclear fusion is not yet a realized technology.
Deuterium in Fusion Reactors: Deuterium is used in fusion reactor designs, especially in combination with tritium, due to the large reaction rate and high energy yield of the deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion reaction.
Heavy Water Reactors: Heavy water reactors use deuterium oxide (D2O) as a moderator because it is less likely to absorb neutrons compared to regular water, making it effective for sustaining nuclear chain reactions.
CANDU Reactors: These reactors use heavy water as a coolant and moderator, which allows them to use natural uranium fuel without needing to enrich it.
ITER Project: The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, planned to become operational in 2025, aims to prove the feasibility of generating net energy from fusion reactions using a mixture of deuterium and tritium.
Deuterium's role in nuclear reactors is significant due to its unique properties and its ability to facilitate both fission and fusion reactions.So just like fish oil byproducts of fishing industry, we have deuterium being marketed to Paleo keto’ers. To help them in their evolutionary consistent state, of only drinking glacier water and eating whale blubber.

@dapose you posted a chatgpt sloppa post. the fact that deuterium depleted water is a byproduct of heavy water manufacturing for nuclear power has very little to nothing to do with the information in studies on deuterium depleted water on biology.
-
Are we really sure deuterium depleted water (at lowest ppm such as 20) is a waste of nuclear power plant/ industry?
-
@eduardo-crispino I’m also not interested in how many angels fit on the head of a pin if you were wondering. I added my two cents at the end of the nuclear water AI thing which was kind of my point.
-
@NNight yeah it's created when making heavy water . why is it even a question you are asking
-
@dapose you're making an assumption that the idea is not valid because of "marketing forces" . deuterium depletion has been studied and talked about for awhile, it didn't just come out because of Jack Kruse forum. If there's a marketing aspect to it (turning waste product from heavy water manufacture into a boutique health product), that is just one aspect of it to keep in mind when evaluating biased claims, it's not a good excuse to neglect the whole idea.
there is a quality difference between glacier water near its melt source vs. coastal rain water used as a drinking water or to grow plants

Nano motors on mitochondria… Ray talked about trying to understand electrons his whole life. Trying to make a model a picture of what they were doing in different situations etc… and talked about how most people especially people that market products as narrowly focusing on flawed models narrow science, fraudulent or just stupid. He talked about this in almost every food from coconuts to coke to calcium to corn…. Manufacturing supplements, he points out endless ways that good substances can be made toxic and poison you. So, deuterium. You think I should work on that? I’ve heard people lecture on it for 9 years and it just well, seems like horse shit to me. I mean I care about horse manure more than I care about deuterium. RO water vs Structured water, that’s a topic! Nano motors on mitochondria…it’s not observable. How sweet my OJ is, is observable. How my stomach reacts to RO water vs Salted water… observable. Most people have 1000 chemicals in their tap water that they drink every day. And they are fine. I work with them. I don’t drink that water because I can perceive a quality to the water I make.
Tom Cowan was talking about deuterium many years ago for cancer therapy etc.
last point I guess is that there are 100 things someone could work on to improve thier health before you need to lighten your waters isotopes. -

Do you know the process of deuterium depleted water production or do you make a guess?
It's a question because it is central to the comparison with fish oil, and his theory?!
-
@NNight I think the main way is to bubble some type of gas through the water, there are probably some other methods that use a lot of electricity and aren't cost effective yet.
the other poster mentioned fish oil to compare it to the fish oil marketing scam and I don't think that's fair considering deuterium depleted water has potential health benefits that haven't been thoughtfully refuted like they have for fish oil

I'm just saying that his argument (or a part of it) is probably based on false premises and that you are confirming it without seemingly solid knowledge of the production processes.
My opinion:
- I think DDW can be useful for some diseases (cancer especially),
- Deuterium is considered bad for the production of energy but it can also be useful for other biological processes (collagen/bone production),
- accumulation of deuterium, or bad "fractionation", has probably deeper root causes than consumption of deuterium itself.
An interesting hypothesis:
The amino acid proline has unique properties that make it ideal for trapping deuterium, and we argue that peptidyl prolyl isomerases facilitate deuterium trapping in proline residues of proline-rich proteins, which are especially common as structural proteins in the extracellular space. The endothelial glycocalyx supports deuterium trapping in the gelled water maintained by the highly sulfated heparan sulfate molecules found there. The so-called exclusion zone (EZ) water in the glycocalyx releases protons preferentially into the circulation, generally leaving behind the deuterons, which strengthen the gel and the collagen matrices. Deficiencies in sulfation in the glycocalyx lead to weakening of the battery maintained by the gelled water, ultimately resulting in higher levels of deuterium circulating in the blood. It is possible although still speculative that proline-rich intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) fractionate deuterium out of the medium and sequester it in the “misfolded” oligomers and fibrils that are a feature of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Overall, a pattern emerges that suggests that the cells are able to somewhat independently control deuterium levels in the water in different compartments so as to optimize metabolic health. To a first approximation, it appears that the cell strategizes to maintain deupleted water in the major organelles, most especially the mitochondria, but also the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the peroxisome, the lysosomes and the nucleus. In parallel, as we will argue later on, the cell likely sequesters deuterium in the collagen molecules and gelled water in the extracellular matrix, particularly in the bone [18]. Deuterium doping actually strengthens bone, whereas deuterium is toxic to the mitochondrial ATPase pumps, so such a strategy is consistent with metabolic needs.
