Recommendation to rename the puFrac
parameter to puHMFrac
and add block parameter puWeightFrac

It can be seen below that the block parameter definition that
puFrac
represents the fraction of "heavy metal" which is Plutonium. For certain fuel systems, the plutonium in the fuel is typically defined as the total weight fraction of Plutonium in the fuel mass (e.g., 100 grams of U-19Pu-10Zr has 19g of Pu, 10g of Zr, and 71g of U). This parameter has been misinterpreted to mean the Pu total weight fraction, and renaming would resolve this ambiguity.armi/armi/reactor/blockParameters.py
