Heavy water is not used in fusion for any purpose. Pure deuterium gas is used in some boosted fission nuclear bombs, deuterium-tritium gas is used in some boosted fission nuclear bombs and in some experimental fusion reactors. Lithium deuteride is used in fusion nuclear bombs.
To obtain the deuterium for these purposes heavy water is usually separated by electrolysis into deuterium gas and oxygen gas.
After the extraction of deuterium (or deuterated water) from natural water remain: H2O (molecules with 16O, 17O or 18O) and extremely low concentrations of HTO, T2O.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you see so little deuterium today?
When the Earth first formed, there was an abundant amount of deuterium in the atmosphere. Today, most of the deuterium has fused into helium and because of that, there is little deuterium left.
How Heavy Water is made?
You cant make heavy water in a normal home or lab you need to have very specilized equpiment for example huge electromagnets nuetron guns which is probably worth over $100,000 , take the easy option and buy it froma chemical supplier for example Sigma Aldrich Multiple stage cascade electrolytic isotope enrichment. However the electricity cost to power the cascade will be much higher than the cost of equipment, unless you build right next to a very large hydroelectric plant and convince them to sell electricity to you at well below wholesale. No electromagnets or neutron guns required.
What is the artery resulting from fusion from of the left and right vertebrals?
The basilar artery is formed from the fusion of the left and right vertebral arteries at the base of the brainstem. It supplies blood to the brain and helps to form the posterior cerebral circulation.
How do water melon disperse its seeds?
Over time, if the watermelon is left on the vine, the melon will rot and the seeds will sprout. The seeds are too heavy to blow in the wind.
What happens when a jar of water with dust and dirt is stirred is left undisturbed for a few hours or days?
When a jar of water with dust and dirt has been stirred and then left undisturbed for a few days, the dust and dirt will settle to the bottom of the jar. Leaving in an undisturbed state will cause the water to separate from the heavy debris that settles on the bottom of the jar.

How many years of nuclear power are left?
With fission reactors, probably at least a hundred years. By then fusion may be usable and this will last indefinitely, as so much deuterium is in the oceans.
What is deuterium?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that has one neutron (hydrogen has zero) in the nucleus.See the Web Links to the left for more information.

How do you change transmission mount plus 2006 Ford Fusion?
That's what I'd like to know. I have a 2006 Ford Fusion 2.3L with 67K miles. Suddenly I get a heavy "grinding" noise when I make left turns or jounce/rebounds. I thought the ball joints were failing on the driverside. Turns out to be the transaxle mounts. Isn't this wear premature?

How does fusion work?
-From Wikipedia (see Web Links to the left):Nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple atomic particles join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy.-From GSU.edu (see Web links to the left):If light nuclei are forced together, they will fuse with a yield of energy because the mass of the combination will be less than the sum of the masses of the individual nuclei. If the combined nuclear mass is less than that of iron at the peak of the binding energy curve, then the nuclear particles will be more tightly bound than they were in the lighter nuclei, and that decrease in mass comes off in the form of energy according to the Einstein relationship. For elements heavier than iron, fission will yield energy.For potential nuclear energy sources for the Earth, the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction contained by some kind of magnetic confinement seems the most likely path. However, for the fueling of the stars, other fusion reactions will dominate.See the Web Links for more information about nuclear fusion and how it works.
Why do you get a pool of water behind the drivers seat after a heavy rain?
I think you can figure this one out by yourself. You have a leak in your roof or you left the window open. You can't get water inside the car unless there's a place for the rain to enter.
