Chemical deuteration involves deuterating whole molecules or building blocks for the synthesis of a desired molecule by exposing them to heavy water (deuterium oxide) at high temperatures and pressures in the presence of a catalyst. If required, compounds can then be synthesised from the deuterated building blocks using organic chemistry techniques.

ANSTO and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) have been recognised for their valuable contributions to the search and recovery efforts for a missing 8mm-long radioactive capsule in the Western Australian outback.
