The INCORRECT statement (s) about heavy water is (are ) (A) used as a moderator in nuclear reactor (B) obtained as a by-product in fertilizer industry (C ) used for the study of reaction mechanism (D ) has a higher dielectric constant than water Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Statement 1: D_2O is used as a moderator in nuclear reactor and in exchange reactions for the study of aaction mechanisms Statement 2: Bond energy of O-H is smaller then bond energy of O-D

Statement about heavy water are given below . A. Heavy water is used in exchange reactions for the study of reaction mechanisms. B. Heavy water is prepared by exhaustive electrolysis of water C. Heavy water has higher boiling point than ordinary water. D. Viscosity of H_2 O is greater than D_2 O

Consider the following statements : 1. The chain reaction process is used in nuclear bombs to release a vast amount of energy, but in nuclear reactors, there is no chain reaction. 2. In a nuclear reactor, the reaction is controlled, while in nuclear bombs, the reaction is uncontrolled. 3. In a nuclear reactor, all operating reactors are 'critical', while there is no question of 'criticality' in case of a nuclear bomb. 4. Nuclear reactors do not use moderators, while nuclear bombs use them. Which of the above statements about operational principles of a nuclear reactor and a nuclear bomb is/are correct?

Assertion : Heavy water is widely used as a moderator in nuclear reactors. Reason : It slows doen the fast moving neutrons and thus helps in controlling the nuclear reactions.
