I think there is an error in the way this article appeared originally. Heavy water is not H2O2; rather, that is hydrogen peroxide. Heavy water and "light" water are both H2O. The difference is not a chemical difference but rather it is in the nucleus of an atom.

I have no chemistry beyond high-school, so I could be wrong. But I'm willing to bet 50 cents on this one. Michael Hardy 01:18 Jan 16, 2003 (UTC)
