The lack of standardised tools for these tasks introduces variability, potential errors in simulations and a lack of reproducibility. -`openmc-plasma-source` addresses these challenges by providing a standardised and easy-to-use interface for defining neutron sources in OpenMC. The package implements the equations for neutron distributions based on established models, such as those described in @fausser_tokamak_2012 and fusion energy spectra from the NeSST tool @Crilly_NESST_-_Neutron_2024. By automating the setup process and including extensive documentation and examples, it reduces barriers to entry for researchers new to OpenMC or neutron source modelling. +`openmc-plasma-source` addresses these challenges by providing a standardised and easy-to-use interface for defining neutron sources in OpenMC. +The package implements the equations for neutron distributions based on established models, such as those described in @fausser_tokamak_2012 and fusion energy spectra from the NeSST tool [@Crilly_NESST_-_Neutron_2024]. +By automating the setup process and including extensive documentation and examples, it reduces barriers to entry for researchers new to OpenMC or neutron source modelling. # Pre-Built Configurations @@ -65,7 +67,9 @@ With pre-built configurations for tokamak, ring, and point sources, `openmc-plas # Custom Energy Spectra -`openmc-plasma-source` allows for customisation of neutron energy spectra based on varying fusion fuel compositions and spatial parameters.
