    Under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran agreed to redesign and repurpose the reactor for peaceful uses and limit plutonium output, while heavy water sales were permitted under oversight.

  2. What is the Arak heavy water reactor?

    The Arak heavy water facility is located about 190km southwest of Tehran.

    Construction began in the early 2000s as part of Iran’s broader nuclear programme.

    The site includes a heavy water production plant and the IR-40 reactor, originally designed with a 40MW thermal capacity. Heavy water moderation allows for research, isotope production and the generation of plutonium as a byproduct.

  3. Study offers a potential pathway for safer, non-addictive pain management

    "The study showed that when D₂O passed through the TRPV1 channel, it suppressed pain signal transmission and achieved effective analgesia."

    They studied both human cells in vitro and mice. This is good since another study found that D2O activated sweet taste receptors in humans, but not in mice -

  8. "What did you learn at that seminar?"

    "Water is made of two atoms of oxygen, and one of hydrogen."

    "You're smart."

    "There's another type of water. Made of two atoms of oxygen and one of delirium."

    ":catthinking:"

    "This water is called crazy water."
