A solid propellant composition in the form of a compacted solid propellant pellet, said solid propellant producing hydrogen or deuterium from a self-sustaining reaction after said reaction is initiated by a heat source sufficient to initiate said reaction, said solid propellant composition comprising a predetermined molar ratio mixture of a first reactant composition and a second reactant composition, said first reactant being selected from the group consisting of amine-boranes and their derivatives, and said second reactant being selected from the group consisting of LiAlH4, NaBH4, Fe2O3 and mixtures thereof, said first reactant being present in a mole ratio varying from about 1 to about 25, and said second reactant being present in a mole ratio varying from about 1 to about 2.
