Metallic Fuel

Metallic Fuel is a nuclear fuel material composed primarily of fissile or fertile metallic elements, distinguished from ceramic or composite fuels by its use of pure or alloyed metals—such as uranium, plutonium, or their alloys—to achieve high thermal conductivity and high fissile atom density in a metallic matrix.
