Description

At the moment, each network has its own binding energy and computes mion it. But we can automate this by having the python script that generates the network_header.H use the same binding energy table as pynucastro to compute write mion into the header for us.

This will ensure that all the nets use a consistent set of masses.

Research direction

Locate the Python script that generates network_header.H and inspect how each network currently supplies its binding energy and mion. Compare its data source with pynucastro's binding energy table. Done means generated headers obtain mion from that shared table, so all networks use consistent masses.
