I can't tell from the photo, 10 feet wide or 0.1-inch wide... BTW, I do realize it can't be 10 feet wide, as criticality starts when it's maybe half a foot wide.

That's plutonium 238. It's not fissionable. It's used for RTGs because its alpha decay makes a big enough piece very hot.
 Plutonium 239 is the fissionable isotope.
