Heavy water is heavy because the hydrogen in it weighs twice as much as ordinary hydrogen (it has a proton and a neutron in its nucleus, instead of just a proton).
Homes in the Drybridge Street and Wonastow Road areas have been damaged several times by high rising water during heavy rainfall.

However, the main road was left under under several feet of water after heavy rain resulted in the river breaching a section of the defences.
He pointed to the shale-gas revolution in the U.S., along with deep-water and heavy oil, as examples of how Mexico can benefit from new technologies that boost energy output, lower prices and create jobs.
It consists of 1, 000 tonnes of heavy water (the sort that has deuterium, a heavy form of hydrogen, in its molecules, instead of the normal, light form of the element).

The heavy water is held in an acrylic sphere, and is surrounded by a network of nearly 10, 000 photomultiplier tubes.

However, it does continue to pursue uranium enrichment and the construction of a heavy water reactor, both of which have military potential.
Iran also began building an actual weapons reactor, a 40 MW heavy water reactor at Arak, that would take natural uranium, and produce plutonium.

Never mind that they showed the difference between heavy water (with deuterium atoms) and ordinary water (with hydrogen atoms) in a way that no image had done before.
ECONOMIST: Paul Lauterbur, father of MRI, died on March 27th, aged 77
Cynics are paraphrasing Marie Antoinette: Let them drink heavy water.
Moreover, between the Russian-built, soon-to-be-opened nuclear reactor in Bushehr and the illicit heavy water reactor in Arak, Iran will have the capacity to build plutonium-based bombs within two years.
It also allowed IAEA inspectors to enter its heavy water plutonium production facility in Arak - a largely insignificant concession since the plant won't be operational for two years.
Shale-gas producers also face opposition from greens, who object to the industry's heavy water usage and a small risk that fracking could lead to contamination of aquifers and even to earthquakes.
ECONOMIST: The ��golden age of gas�� could be cleaner than greens think
At Commons question time on 31 January 2011, Dr Fox said Tehran was continuing to pursue uranium enrichment as well as the construction of a heavy water reactor, both of which had "military potential".
Half were randomly to be instructed to apply the sunscreen daily to exposed areas, reapplying after water immersion, heavy sweating or several hours spent outdoors, while half were told to use it as they normally would.
Complicating matters, Mexico's oil output has slipped to 2.55 million barrels a day from a peak of 3.4 million in 2004, as easy oil in the Gulf is replaced by more difficult reserves of deep-water oil and heavy oil onshore.
The traces of highly-enriched (not just fuel-grade) uranium, their deception, their heavy water plant and other indicators brand their program as one designed to develop nuclear weapons even in the absence of considering their rhetoric about destroying Israel and ending the world.
The heavy water plant at Arak, the Esfahan conversion factory, the new reactor at Bushehr and the enrichment site at Natanz. 10.33.21 Music 10.33.24 Narrator And Israeli intelligence reportedly knows of other, hidden sites that are more difficult to destroy. 10.33.29 Music 10.33.31 Ehud Barak Some of them are well dug into the side hills with hardly any conventional weapon being able to penetrate.
Shovel small amounts of snow at a time, especially if the snow is heavy and water-laden.

Iran is also building a heavy-water reactor that could produce plutonium, another bomb ingredient.
ECONOMIST: The Europeans' soft approach to Iran seems to have failed
Iran, by comparison, is producing near-weapons-grade uranium, but it also has a heavy-water reactor being developed that could produce weapons-usable plutonium.
In both cases, he used the heavy-water method to monitor cell division.
If it gets into the water, into the drinking water, and the heavy metal leaches out of the ash that can be hard to deal with.
The council said the sewage system and the River Clwyd have high levels of water from the recent heavy rains, and the sewage has therefore been heavily diluted.
The company claims that because of poor planning combined with multiple failures, the Corps of Engineers didn't create enough storage capacity for water even when very heavy rainfall was predicted.
The enrichment plants at Natanz, Qom and perhaps elsewhere give Iran an early route to HEU. A planned heavy-water reactor at Arak will produce large quantities of plutonium as a by-product, but will not be completed for some years.
Such an approach can help use less water, eliminating the needs for capital-heavy investment such as desalination projects or long water pipelines.
Right now, at our current low levels of carbon dioxide, plants are paying a heavy price in water usage.
