It'd be nice to have melting and boiling point figures for this — I know the melting point is about 5 Celsius, for example.
I saw there is a treatment for drinking too much of this, but it also said you would have the same effects if you drank the same amount of regular H2O. What are the effects of drinking say 16oz of this? Since there is no hydrogen I would assume that you can not re-hydrate (quench thirst) by drinking this, or is it like super water and you can drink less and help like Gatorade?
Actually, it has hydrogen, see Tritium. Also, drinking tritium water, unlike drinking deuterium water, is extremely dangerous because tritium is radioactive (while deuterium isn't).

Isn't the most used form tritiated water diluted in a larger quantity of light water? If so, most molecules containing tritium will be semi-tritiated water. -- JWB ( talk) 14:14, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
The density in the CRC manual 94th edition is 1.2138 g/cu cm at 25 deg C, apparently, where as 1.85g/cm3 given in the Wikipedia article. JBel ( talk) 09:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
firstly, alpha emitters are supposedly harmless unless ingested. that's not even supposedly true of beta emitters like tritium.
secondly, the following youtube video makes a pretty compelling argument that alpha emitters are in fact dangerous even if not ingested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7TwBUxxIC0?t=873 the basic gist of their argument is that beta particles don't need to fully penetrate skin to cause damage, just deep enough to reach dividing cells and along side this claim is evidence that alpha particles are capable of fully penetrating paper, plastic bags and chicken skin. 99.170.100.78 ( talk) 04:49, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
See c:File:Tritiated water 2D Model.png. A couple issues. The description was labeled as being in Vietnamese, but was in English. Please translate said description into Vietnamese. I added descriptions in English and Finnish. I wanted to add a description in Spanish, but apparently the system won't allow a description in a fourth language. Can someone please overcome said apparent restriction? The wikicode i was going to use for the Spanish description was:
