Need Full List of All Tracked Isotopes about cyclus HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Matt,

One of the benefits of Cyclus' design is that we don't have to have a
fixed set of isotopes. The user can choose which isotopes to track as
long as they provide sufficient data to support that.

Perhaps a different question is what set of isotopes we will provide
data for in a standard installation.

@katyhuff Does this already exist somewhere?

At first I went to decayInfo.dat, but that doesn't list any stable isotopes (duh..). Is this list predefined somewhere else or do we need to define it now?

I know other fuel cycle sims group isotopes based on certain characteristics, which we can, of course, do. Just thought we should discuss.

Agreed. I had thought that we kept track of some key isotopes due to decayInfo.day. I instead implemented Roberts suggestion of using a combined primary key of a states id and the isotopes id.

We currently only have mass references for a finite number of isotopes
(which can be replaced by an interested user) in mass.h5 , which, if we're
migrating away from HDF5, I guess someone may want to convert to something
else to make an option that is not hdf5 dependent available to the user...
Having already converted it to hdf5, I'm not likely to volunteer, but would
be happy to help.

I think your generic solution is the answer. The mass table was a temporary
fix, but was always intended to be user specified.
