Updated the shut down dose rate example on the fusion-energy neutronics_workshop with help from Paul

If anyone is looking for a shut down dose rate simulation feedback on this one is most welcome

# This script simulates R2S method of shut down dose rate
# on a simple sphere model.

# users might want to change these to use specific xml files to use particular decay data or transport cross sections
# the chain file was downloaded with
# pip install openmc_data
# download_nndc_chain -r b8.0
chain_file = Path(__file__).parents[0] / 'chain-nndc-b8.0.xml'
openmc.config['chain_file'] = chain_file
# openmc.config['cross_sections'] = 'cross_sections.xml'

# a few user settings
# Set up the folders to save all the data in
