Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Depletion of MSRs must include the relevant reprocessing scheme for that MSR. This means that, for some depletion problems, there should be a chemical removal capability.
Describe the feature you'd like.
There should be a way for users to add chemical removal via off-gas, "volatilization of gaseous species due to changing thermochemical equilibrium in the fuel salt" [1]; plate out on redox potential control rod, heat exchanger, etc.; nickel mesh filter; etc.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
An alternative approach could be a scaled removal rate applied to the entire volume rather than having a region where removal of a target element occurs. I'm not sure if this would reduce the computational cost of the problem, I think it might just reduce the memory requirements by a small margin.
Another alternative would be using a batchwise approach (e.g. Saltproc), but I think that would have a similar level of implementation difficulty without offering a higher fidelity solution.
Additional context.

How can this issue be closed?
Add spatially resolved chemical removal, as well as simple tests verifying it works as expected.
