There is provided a conductive radius filler system and method. The system has a composite assembly with one or more composite structures having one or more radius filler regions. The system further has one or more conductive radius fillers filling the one or more radius filler regions. Each of the conductive radius fillers has a conductive element of electrically conductive material. The system further has one or more conductive radius filler connections connecting the conductive radius fillers to one of, a fastener system, a fuel tank system, and a current generating system, to form one or more current handling systems of the system. The one or more current handling systems provide one of, edge glow mitigation of edge glow as a secondary effect of lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge mitigation of electrostatic discharge caused by refueling electrification and fuel slosh, and current return handling to provide a minimized dedicated conductive system.
