@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ The default energy deposition mode, ``"fission-q"``, instructs the
:class:`openmc.deplete.Operator` to normalize reaction rates using the product
of fission reaction rates and fission Q values taken from the depletion chain.
This approach does not consider indirect contributions to energy deposition,
including neutron heating or kinetic energy of fission fragments. In doing this,
such as neutron heating and energy from secondary photons. In doing this,
the energy deposited during a transport calculation will be lower than expected.
This causes the reaction rates to be over-adjusted to hit the user-specific power,
or power density, leading to an over-depletion of burnable materials.
