They need that high of a concentration to keep the moderation ratio high. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:22:15 GMT Louis N.

So, most heavy water is really DHO? Or is it D2O and you keep it strictly seperate? And DOH! I see what ya did there.... :D Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:20:09 GMT Jim Hoerner http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Know_Nukes/message/23754 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Know_Nukes/message/23754 ... Other deuterium coolness... Water molecules exchange hydrogen atoms freely and rapidly.
