//! \brief      Implementation of the FFPrimaryGeneratorAction class
//!
//! \details    Generates 4.5 MeV neutrons from the solid volume defined in
//!             FFDetectorConstruction as "NeturonSource" and shoots them off
//!             in a isotropically sampled direction

//  23-06-14                                              BWendt
//  Implemented "GetNeutronSourceCenter()" and added code to correctly sample
//  the neutron starting location
