Answer to Question 1

A malfunction will quench the nuclear reaction; it cannot experience anything comparable to a meltdown as in the case of a fission reactor.

Answer to Question 2

Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron in the nucleus. It is found in seawater.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
