What is the change?

The block parameters initialB10ComponentVolume, massHmBOL, and molesHmBOL did not have a location tag that would cause them to be multiplied by the symmetry factor when expanding to full core, so the VOLUME_INTEGRATED tag was added. This should cause these values to be correctly accounted for when assemblies are placed on symmetry boundaries.

Why is the change being made?

Incorrect values were calculated for initialB10ComponentVolume and downstream values dependent on it for assemblies located in the center of 1/3rd symmetric cores.

Working on running a test case to demonstrate that the parameters are correctly accounted for in assemblies that are split between symmetric portions of the core.

The core.add method uses assembly.moveTo to place assemblies in the
reactor. Since moveTo now accounts for changes in symmetry factor,
having an additional adjustment in the core.add method is incorrect and
would double account for any change in symmetry factor.
