## Calculation of Kinetics Parameters
Many users need the capability to calculate the effective delayed neutron fraction and the mean generation time, two important parameters in kinetics. This project will involve implementing a method to calculate these parameters.

## Automatic Determination of Cell Volumes
The capability to calculate cell volumes is both an essential and non-trivial capability. It can generally be broken down into three types of calculations:
1. Rotationally symmetric bodies
2. Arbitrary polyhedra
3. All others (which must be calculated stochastically)
The algorithm for calculating cell volumes is outlined in LA-8113-MS.
