Combustible


Explanation:
Creo que combustible sin más en este contexto estaría muy bien.
No sería descabellado "combustible de arranque", pero si está en un laboratorio es obvio que es para arrancar un reactor.
Esta definición es de un diccionario encontrado en internet:

http://books.google.es/books?id=3ykBDaKKk1YC&pg=PA75&lpg=PA7...

DRIVER FUEL The fuel that provides the critical mass in a nuclear reactor. The driver fuel is distinguished from fuel that builds up in the blanket section of a reactor.

La "masa critica" es la cantidad mínima de combustible necesaria para que el reactor arranque y se mantenga funcionando, de manera que el combustible que proporciona esta masa crítica (el driver fuel) es el que, digámoslo así, se "echa" en el reactor para arrancarlo, lo que a mi entender se llama en español, simplemente, "combustible" (nuclear eso sí…)
