we knew that deuterium is primarily used as fuel for the rocket propelled engine of a rocket ship. We also knew that Norway is the only country that is extracting deuterium, so i want to know if the deuterium present in the Philippine deep can also be extracted or not. This has been a very big question that the Filipino people would wanted to know. The Filipino people would be gratified if this can be answered with a positive result. The presence of deuterium in the Philippines brings hope to the Filipino populace way back 30 years ago but suddenly the hope was diminished because there is no country like the U.S. or Japan that can help us explore this very precious mineral. At present, the Filipino people does not have the technical ability to extract this, so we are asking for the support of any country that can help us find ways to solve this problem. I knew personally that this is possible because, how come that Norway could pump out their deuterium and we couldn't.It's a shame!

Deuterium is simply an isotope of hydrogen with one neutron. It liquefies at 20.28 degrees K, so I'm sure the Philippines doesn't have a source of liquid hydrogen of any isotope. Heavy water is used in fusion and as a moderator in some fission reactors. The nearness to the customer and a power source is much more important than nearness to any particular water source. Producing heavy water is a concentrating process. Norway was close to its customer, Germany.

If the Philippine government or any other organization there is seeking new industries, there are much better sources of information than Yahoo Answers.

probably, horizontal extraction than vertical. that's land base than ocean base vertical extraction.
