Heavy water, also known as deuterium oxide (D2O), is a form of water in which the hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen. Heavy water holds significance in various high-tech industries, including semiconductors, displays, and nuclear reactors. Nevertheless, its supply and demand are facing challenges due to limited production sources, and it is designated as a strategic material, further complicating its availability.
