        \begin{block}{Main Objective}
              To improve usability of Cyclus for transition scenarios.
        \end{block}
        

        \begin{block}{Main Challenge}
              Deploying reactors to meet power demand is trivial, and existed 
                in the earliest versions of Cyclus.
              \textbf{Automated, predictive deployment and decommissioning of 
                other facilities is more complex.} These include mining, 
                milling, enrichment, fuel 
                fabrication, reprocessing, and others. 

              For example, a balanced closed fuel cycle may require ensuring 
                that there is enough fast reactor fuel for their operation and 
                may drive deployment of a fleet of light water reactors.
