Description
Currently, the
get_microxs_and_fluxfunction has two methods for computing cross sections: either using direct reaction rate tallies or tallying a flux spectrum and then collapsing a one-group reaction rate. This PR adds areaction_rate_optskeyword argument to that enables a hybrid approach. Whenreaction_rate_mode='flux', users can now specify a subset of nuclide/reaction pairs viareaction_rate_optsto be computed via direct reaction-rate tallies rather than flux collapse. The directly-tallied values take precedence over flux-collapsed values for those pairs in the returnedMicroXSobjects. A newMicroXS.merge()method supports combining the two sets of results.This mirrors the hybrid tally capability already available in the coupled depletion operator, making it accessible when using IndependentOperator with
