Heavy Water Management. Heavy water is very expensive to produce and when it is used in a reactor it becomes radioactive largely due to the production of tritium. It is therefore critical that heavy water is managed in such a way as to: - minimize permanent losses, - reduce our environmental emissions, and - minimize the chronic hazard to personnel. 1, record 1, English, - heavy%20water%20management

Gestion de l'eau lourde. La production d’eau lourde est coûteuse. Lorsqu'elle est utilisée dans un réacteur, elle devient radioactive, surtout à cause de la création de tritium. Il est donc essentiel de la gérer afin de :-minimiser les pertes permanentes,-réduire les rejets dans l'environnement,-minimiser les dangers chroniques auxquels le personnel est exposé. 1, record 1, French, - gestion%20de%20l%27eau%20lourde
