TREK NOTES:
"Deuterium [{bIQSIp 'ugh}] was also used as one of the reactants in the matter/antimatter reaction system in those ships' warp drive. The deuterium was the matter, and anti-hydrogen served as the antimatter." (TNG 'Relics'; STEnc. [1994])

"Matter and antimatter have a tendency to cancel each other out-violently." (Kirk, TOS "The Alternative Factor")

If a ship's matter/antimatter engines blow up, a high level of measurable radiation is left behind. (TOS "That Which Survives")
