They would still use uranium or plutonium as the core?
Not with TL12-13 Traveller equivalent, unless that happened to be
cheaper and easier or something.  On the whole, probably not.

In case they do, see my other post where I estimate 10^15
fission-triggered warheads based on the uranium content of Earth's
upper crust.

What would they use if not uranium or plutonium?  I'll admit that I'm not a chemist and never played one on TV (or for that matter now that I think of it, I've never played on in a game).  :-)
