Elemental Ta should include Ta180_m1, not ground state
I recently learned that the two naturally occurring isotopes of Ta are the first metastable state of Ta180 and the ground state of Ta181. ENDF/B-VIII.0 and earlier do not have any cross sections for the metastable, but it's looking like VIII.1 will (discussion here, unfortunately limited to ENDF/B library contributors). Once that's available, when someone asks for elemental Ta, we should be adding Ta180_m1, not Ta180. So, some changes will be needed in:
-
openmc.data.isotopes
-
openmc.Material.add_element
