Heavy Water is an excellent moderator due to its high moderating ratio and low absorption cross section for neutrons.
A mass defect refers to the difference in mass between of an atom and the sum of the masses of the protons, neutrons, and electrons of the atom. The "missing" mass is the energy released by the formation of the atomic nucleus.

Vapour is injected at a uniform rate in a closed vessel which was initially evacuated. The pressure in the vessel
When the vapour is injected into the evacuated vessel, the pressure of the vessel starts to increase. As the pressure is increased and reaches the saturated vapour pressure, the vapour starts to condense beyond this. Therefore, after a particular instant, the pressure of the container becomes constant.
So, the pressure increases initially and then becomes constant.
