Thank you!
Good first take using a very simplified version of the model to reproduce this experimental data. Obviously, there is more to do here to match the measurements, but we'll get there step by step.
I have some comments/suggestions, especially related to how the Ni/FLiBe interface is being modeled, which we should discuss.
Additionally, it seems like you are having the same issue as detailed in: #200
Look at how we temporarily updated the test specification files to not run them for these validation cases, and reproduce this here.

Is that value not from Pattrick's paper?

This does not correspond to the documentation (the documentation is wrong).
Also, let's discuss this in general, as I don't think this is correct either.
