Deuterium (hydrogen-2, symbol or ) is an important gas that can be used in the fusion reactor alongside tritium to produce deuterium-tritium plasma.
Deuterium is flammable and combustible, with a high fuel grade, providing 5.0 kTU and 10.0 kHE.
Production
- Deuterium can be obtained through a deuterium extractor, or the deuterium extractor tower, where regular water goes in, and heavy water comes out.

Trivia
- The deuterium tank item is one of the main ingredients used to detonate the Ivy Mike bomb, just like in real life, where the real explosive used deuterium as fuel for the fusion.
- The high fuel grade might be the fact the gas is used in the fluid reactor to create a powerful plasma.
