Deuterium: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:46, 30 December 2021

Isotope of hydrogen commonly used as fuel in fusion and warp core reactors
Occasionally known as "neutronic fuel" due to its extra neutron as compared to hydrogen, especially in older (c.22nd-century) reference material (ENT Novel: Kobayashi Maru; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
- Connection between "deuterium" and "neutronic fuel" conjecture, based on reference as explosive in Kobayashi Maru
Most commonly stored and transported in slush form, liquid/solid blend, held at high pressure and low temperature
- Explosive in standard conditions, more difficult to transport due to tank outgassing* Atomic number 27
General properties
