Research direction
Start by locating the existing DD, TT, and DT reaction definitions and the code path that converts fusion power into reaction counts. Check how OpenMC normalization is expected to consume these values, then verify that the reported average Q value and neutron emission per reaction support the requested normalization cases.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
thinking about how to use this code with openmc and I often have the situation where the fusion reactor is quotes as 1GW fusion power and then there is a need to find number of fusion reactions from this power.
most neutronics analysis is done assuming 1GW / 17.6MeV to find the number of fusion reactions and then 1 neutron per fusion reaction is assumed.
However with the four reactions covered in nest (DD, DD, TT, DT) there is a different average Q value of the plasma and we should something different to 17.6MeV.
There is also a different number of neutrons released as TT reaction makes 2 neutrons.
So it might be useful to know the real average Q value and the average neutron emission per reaction to help normalize neutronics results
