Why was the fission reference removed? -- Jarogers2001 21:03, 20 January 2007 (PST)
Because it was incorrect. Deuterium and Tritium are NOT used for fission. Heavy water can be used as a moderator for some types of nuclear fission, but that is a different topic (and heavy water is not the same thing as Deuterium). Somebody could possibly write something up on that if they are knowledgeable, but I do not think it is particularly relevant to lunar development.
