Abstract
The Virtual Test Bed (VTB) repository hosts a wide range of challenge problems to showcase modeling and simulation capabilities to support advanced reactor demonstration. A coupled multiphysics model of the Mk1 pebble-bed fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (PB-FHR) is presented here. The analysis leverages MOOSE-based tools (Griffin, Pronghorn and the heat conduction module) for neutronic, thermal hydraulic and multi-scale fuel performance simulations. All input files and documentation developed for this example are available on the VTB website: mooseframework. inl.gov/virtual_test_bed/.
