The nuclei of heavy water are known as the deuterons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water. Since its spin is 1 it is a boson and experiments determined their properties and characteristics fitted a Bose-Einstein’s statistics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose-Einstein_statistics. The electric charge of a deuteron is positive due to the proton. An ensemble of deuterons would then comprise a Bose superliquid. To be considered as plasma there must also electrons within the occupied volume such that the electric field is neutralized. However, if the deuterons are close to each other at low temperature then they could interact forming nuclei of helium isotope 4, He and in the process release excess useful radiationless energy. This process is called cold fusion.
