Talked with @onufer this morning on my confusion between Block.p.percentBuMax

pb.defParam(
"percentBuMax",
units=units.PERCENT_FIMA,
description="Maximum percentage in a single pin of the initial heavy metal "
"atoms that have been fissioned",
location=ParamLocation.MAX,
)

and Block.p.percentBuPeak

pb.defParam(
"percentBuPeak",
units=units.PERCENT_FIMA,
description="Peak percentage of the initial heavy metal atoms that have been fissioned",
location=ParamLocation.MAX,
categories=["cumulative", "eq cumulative shift"],
)

Looking at their metadata, they feel very similar and redundant. @onufer indicated the "peak" parameter is a bounding burnup that could supersede percentBuMax as the metric for "maximum burnup for something in this block"

If I'm understanding his summary, that seems like a good argument for removing Block.p.percentBuMax.

We should also add the depletion category to the Block.p.percentBuPeak categories so it can be tracked and reported w/ other depletion parameters
