A system for fueling a tokamak includes a gyrotron for radiating microwave energy into a waveguide. Also included is a module having a deutritium-tritium (DT) fuel pellet, a diamond/sapphire window, and a pusher medium located between the pellet and window that is made of frozen deuterium (D<SUB>2</SUB>) and metallic particles. With the module in the waveguide, the gyrotron is activated. Radiation from the gyrotron is then directed into the waveguide and through the window to cause a gaseous expansion of the pusher medium. This ejects the pellet from the waveguide and into the plasma of the tokamak.
