Thermal Spectrum Reactors

[john-science]

ARMI has a sample thermal spectrum reactor (with a square lattice) here:

What do you think? Could we support that example with the current OpenMC benchmark?

[john-science]

It looks like the above C5G7 reactor has already been put through OpenMC: https://docs.openmc.org/en/v0.9.0/examples/mg-mode-part-i.html

So, that's helpful, for comparison.

This could even be worth published, to show that ARMI can reproduce these results!

Yes, we can absolutely support the C5G7. I just pushed an entry point that runs it, but I still need to add postprocessing and verify against the existing run.
