  We calculate the deuteron anapole moment with the wave functions obtained
from the Argonne $v18$ nucleon-nucleon interaction model. The anapole moment
operators are considered at the leading order. To minimize the uncertainty due
to a lack of current conservation, we calculate the matrix element of the
anapole moment from the original definition. In virtue of accurate wave
functions, we can obtain a more precise value of the deuteron anapole moment
which contains less uncertainty than the former works. We obtain a result
reduced by more than 25% in the magnitude of the deuteron anapole moment. The
reduction of individual nuclear contributions is much more important however,
varying from a factor 2 for the spin part to a factor 4 for the convection and
associated two-body currents.
