is a multifaceted research facility specializing in research related to the nuclear sciences. The facility houses unique ca- pabilities including the 1.1 MW Oregon State TRIGA Reactor (OSTR), gamma irradiator, thermal hy- draulics testing laboratories, radiochemistry laboratories, and extensive radiological spectral and counting equipment. His research focus includes neutron radiography, MCNP, and reactor dosimetry. He obtained a PhD from Colorado State University (1997) in Radiological Health Sciences and a BS from Oregon State University (1991) in General Science. He also holds a Senior Reactor Operating license for the OSTR. He is certified by the American Board of Health Physics and is a member of the

Page 24.1040.3PowerPoint animation. Specific misconceptions were targeted in the demonstration. Apedagogical model referred as U-POSE methodically sequences students through the five stepsof these proposed MCNP6 demonstrations: Understand, Predict, Observe, Synthesize, andExplain. The final step culminates with students explaining the concept by authoring arepresentative concept question with a solution for a peer. This paper provides a model fornuclear engineering demonstration and proposes means for sharing demonstrations created usingthis model.The Problem In nuclear engineering studies at the U.S. Military Academy, the NaI (th) scintillatorradiation detector is a workhorse in our laboratory courses, and it is analyzed in depth in
