What ill effects would you have if you ingested Deuterium oxide from a nuclear power generating station?

Well, deuterium oxide is the same as hydrogen hydroxide, but with an extra neutron in each molecule. Chemically, its the same as hydrogen hydroxide, which is very useful stuff. Can be used as fire extinguisher, and is a major ingredient of beer.

Ill effects? Well, it has been used for torturing people. But if you ingest it, the only effect would be to make you less thirsty.

Correct, deuterium oxide is heavy water used in nuclear reactors. It would have no ill effects on you more than plain H2O would have on you. There is a small quantity of deuterium oxide that naturally occurs in water. So in fact you are consuming it all the time without knowing it.
