@simopier The changes in the current draft PR look good to me. The normalized tritium flux unit (m/s) also makes sense. I only have a few minor suggestions for the current PR. Other than that, please feel free to move forward.

!alert warning title=Updated results since publication of [!cite](Shimada2024114438).
As detailed in the `Boundary conditions and history` section above, the BCs for tritium influx and heat flux have been updated since publication of [!cite](Shimada2024114438) to fix typos. While the heat flux correction only has very minor effects, the new tritium flux is 4 orders of magnitude larger than in [!cite](Shimada2024114438), leading to higher tritium concentrations, overall retention, and losses to the coolant side.

The sentence mentioned "the BCs for tritium influx and heat flux have been updated". In the input file, the heat flux is still 1e7 W/m^2, which is same with the published paper. Maybe we should remove the heat flux here.

The minimum value of the heat flux was updated. Not the maximum value. I'll make it more specific.

Is the nl_abs_tol too large, causing the heavy tests to fail?

Same large nl_abs_tol here. Would it help to decrease it a little?

It seems that the diffusivity_fixed is a factor to convert the atomic flux (at/m^2/s) to mass flux (g/m^2/s). Therefore, the unit would be accurate with "g/at" instead of current "g/m^2".

Potential source for incident tritium flux

https://scipub.euro-fusion.org/wp-content/uploads/eurofusion/WPPFCCPR17_17993_submitted.pdf

In page 6 they assume a maximal incident flux of $10^{24} m^{-2}s^{-1}$, and they assume that everything is tritium; thus we obtain $5\cdot 10^{20} m^{-2}s^{-1}$ with our claimed 0.1% rate and accounting for 1/2 deuterium implantation.

My only hesitation here is that I'm not used to seeing fluxes with units of m/s. Everything else looks fine and I agree with the math you've done.

The math looks consistent, my only concern is that I'm not used to seeing fluxes in units of m/s
