How is deuterium and tritium produced?
Deuterium and tritium are produced through nuclear reactions. Deuterium is naturally found in water, and can also be extracted from water through a process called electrolysis. Tritium, on the other hand, is not naturally abundant and is typically produced in nuclear reactors by bombarding lithium-6 with neutrons. This reaction causes the lithium-6 to absorb a neutron and produce tritium and helium-4. Both deuterium and tritium are used as fuel in nuclear fusion reactions, which have the potential to generate large amounts of energy.

Why are there no electrons in hydrogen deuterium?
Hydrogen deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, in contrast to regular hydrogen which contains only a proton. Since electrons are found outside the nucleus and are associated with a specific element, the presence of an electron is not affected by the presence of a neutron in the nucleus. Therefore, hydrogen deuterium, like regular hydrogen, contains one electron in its electron cloud.
-
Why are deuterium and tritium used in nuclear fusion?
Deuterium and tritium are used in nuclear fusion because they are isotopes of hydrogen that have the necessary properties for efficient fusion reactions. Deuterium is readily available in natural water and is relatively easy to extract, making it a practical fuel source for fusion reactions. Tritium, while not naturally abundant, can be produced from lithium within the fusion reactor itself, making it a self-sustaining fuel source. Additionally, the fusion of deuterium and tritium produces a high-energy reaction with a relatively low ignition temperature, making it more feasible for current fusion technology.

Is heavy water, also known as deuterium oxide, toxic?
Heavy water, or deuterium oxide, is not considered toxic in small amounts. However, consuming large quantities of heavy water can be harmful to the body. It can interfere with the normal functioning of cells and can potentially cause damage to the nervous system. Ingesting heavy water in large amounts can also disrupt the body's normal balance of water and electrolytes. Therefore, while small amounts of heavy water are not toxic, it is important to avoid consuming large quantities.

Amusing Ourselves to Death
Television has conditioned us to tolerate visually entertaining material measured out in spoonfuls of time, to the detriment of rational public discourse and reasoned public affairs.In this eloquent, persuasive book, Neil Postman alerts us to the real and present dangers of this state of affairs, and offers compelling suggestions as to how to withstand the media onslaught.Before we hand over politics, education, religion, and journalism to the show business demands of the television age, we must recognize the ways in which the media shape our lives and the ways we can, in turn, shape them to serve out highest goals.

Seven Lively Suspects
It's a baking hot British summer, and the sleepy town of Market Foxleigh is staging a crime writing festival... with the three Dahlias as guests of honour. After all, not only have Rosalind King, Caro Hooper and Posy Starling each played fictional detective Dahlia Lively on screen, but they're also making a name for themselves solving real-life murders too. The Dahlias are anticipating a weekend of cream teas, awards dinners and warm white wine... but before long they're sleuthing together once again - this time helping a true crime podcast investigate a local cold case with a personal connection for one of the Dahlias. It's been five years since Dahlia Lively fan Scott Baker was arrested for a murder that had eerie echoes of one of Dahlia's fictional cases.It seemed like an open and shut case at the time, but the podcast team are convinced that the police got the wrong man.

Entertaining Mr Sloane
Entertaining Mr Sloane was first staged in 1964. Despite its success in performance, and being hailed by Sir Terence Rattigan as 'the best first play' he'd seen in 'thirty odd years', it was not until the London production of Loot in 1966 - less than a year before Joe Orton's untimely death - that theatre audiences and critics began to more fully appreciate the originality of Orton's elegant, alarming and hilarious writing.Introduced by John Lahr, the author of Orton's biography Prick up Your Ears, Entertaining Mr Sloane is now established as an essential part of the repertoire of the modern theatre.

Where does the difference between hydrogen and deuterium show itself?
The main difference between hydrogen and deuterium is in their atomic structure. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, while hydrogen only has a proton. This difference in atomic structure leads to variations in their physical and chemical properties. For example, deuterium is heavier than hydrogen and forms stronger chemical bonds, making it useful in certain scientific and industrial applications.
-
Why does deuterium not directly react to form helium-4?
Deuterium does not directly react to form helium-4 because the process of nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures and pressures to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between the positively charged nuclei. Deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron, needs to be heated to temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius to undergo fusion with another deuterium nucleus to form helium-4. This process is only achievable in the extreme conditions found in the core of stars or in experimental fusion reactors.

What would you call a water molecule with deuterium and tritium?
A water molecule with deuterium and tritium would be called heavy water. Heavy water is a form of water where the hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, and sometimes tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Heavy water has slightly different physical and chemical properties compared to regular water, and it is commonly used in nuclear reactors and scientific research.
