Hopefully this is what you had in mind about templating.

I think if we are gonna do enrichment zoning we are gonna trouble making something elegant on a short timeline, but this lets us tweak height, clocking, and fuel easily.

There is some sort of weird issue with distribCell tallies, as noted in sample_model.py but shouldn't be a showstopper.

Here's the model from sample_model.py
