A LiCl in D2O solution might also work as a neutron moderator plus  
energy extractor. With a molecular weight of 42.39 and solubility of  
1300 g/l, that's about .21 g/cm^3 of lithium.  The problem with LiCl  
is the 3x10^5 half life of 36Cl.  LiBr looks better.  LiI also has  
high solubility but some unfortunate byproducts.
