Potential Technosignature from Anomalously Low Deuterium/Hydrogen in Planetary Water Depleted by Nuclear Fusion Technology by David C. Catling, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Tyler D. Robinson

“…Here, we suggest that anomalous D/H in planetary water below local ISM values of ∼16 × 10 ^−6 (set by Big Bang nucleosynthesis plus deuterium loss onto dust or small admixtures of deuterium-poor stellar material) may be a technosignature. Unlike SETI using radio signals, anomalous D/H would persist for eons, even if civilizations perished or relocated. …”
