To achieve some waste form volume and mass tracking capabilities similar to those in vision, a lookup-table-based WasteConditioning FacilityModel needs to exist which pairs waste streams with appropriate waste forms according to their isotopics.

Notes on vision capability:

The capability in vision relies on tabulated loading density values for various waste streams. The table looks something like:

|| _________ || ________ || _______ || _______ || ________ || ______ || ______ ||
|| density-> || low || low || low || med || med || med ||
|| _________ || ________ || _______ || _______ || ________ || ______ || ______ ||
|| stream || ceramic || glass || ... || ceramic || glass || ... ||
|| I || - || 0.2 || ... || - || 0.4 || ... ||
|| Cs || 0.05 || - || ... || 0.1 || - || ... ||
|| Sr || - || 0.3 || ... || - || 0.6 || ... ||
|| Cs/Sr || - || 0.2 || ... || - || 0.4 || ... ||

Each waste stream has only one allowed waste form.
This means that the user has only one decision to make, and that is whether they'd like the waste forms to be loaded with a "low", "medium", or "high" loading density.
