While pondering this problem, it's always wise to click around on [this unbelievable hexagon page](https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/#map-storage). They even have an [implementation guide](https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/implementation.html#map) in many languages, [including python!](https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/codegen/output/lib.py) That said, the basic...

If we remove nucDirectory, we should try to meet the requirements of #460

It would be nice to implement #569 alongside this so people can turn on and off user plugins. For traceability of code, we probably should put a printout of the...

We certainly want to be able to support that kind of request, ideally without having to programmatically make your ARMI inputs. A few other options here: * You could define...

> Another option would be to eschew the blueprints (or sections of them anyway) and make a reactor model directly in code. I'll note that there is at least some...

I really like the idea of integrating Pint into the parameter definition system. The parameter definition objects [in here](https://github.com/terrapower/armi/blob/master/armi/reactor/parameters/parameterDefinitions.py) have a string that represents the units and we could (perhaps...

In order to accomplish this ticket: * we need to make a new rst file called `doc/user/component_parameters_report.rst` * In this file, we should add code along the lines of that...

nuclideFlags was originally put in blueprints just because it was yaml format first and supported lists cleaner than settings xml did. Now that settings are yaml too I would say...

Ah, _reporting_. Yeah we should definitely merge and clean as appropriate. As we clean this up, it might make sense to have armi define some data structures that plugins can...

Excellent question. Yes the `getPinPitch` has an overly design-specific implementation and we'd like to support something more genetic. **Philosophy Aside:** We have been slowly moving design-dependent inferences like that out...
