"""
The fuel cycle package analyzes the various elements of nuclear fuel cycles from mining to disposal.

Fuel cycle code can include things like:

* In- and ex-core fuel management
* Fuel chemistry
* Fuel processing
* Fuel fabrication
* Fuel mass flow scenarios
* And so on

There is one included fuel cycle plugin: The Fuel Handler.

The fuel handler plugin moves fuel around in a reactor.
