Tritiated water is a radioactive form of water where the usual hydrogen atoms are replaced with tritium. In its pure form it may be called tritium oxide (T2O or 3H2O) or super-heavy water. Pure T2O is corrosive due to self-radiolysis. Diluted tritiated water is mainly H2O plus some HTO (3HOH). It is also used as a tracer for water transport studies in life-science research.
