In this section, we will derive the numerical basis for the random ray solver
mode in OpenMC. The derivation of random ray is also discussed in several papers

add clarity, particularly on the topic of OpenMC's treatment of cell volumes in
the random ray solver.

Thus, an `on-the-fly approximation method <Tramm-2017a_>`_ was developed (known
as the "dead zone"), where the first several mean free paths of a ray are
considered to be "inactive" or "read only". In this sense, the angular flux is
solved for using the MOC equation, but the ray does not "tally" any scalar flux
