Development of highly-metallized gas-free fuel element

The article presents data obtained during the experimental testing of the fuel element development based on the highly-metallized gas-free fuel for the air independent power plants of small-size conventional submarines and other underwater objects. The data confirm some theoretical assumptions for burning of the highly-metallized fuel. The development of the air independent power plants based on the highly-metallized gas-free fuel will allow creating a small-sized power source for small submarines and other underwater objects.
