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 NEAMS tools (Griffin), SAM, Pronghorn, and the MOOSE heat conduction module) for core neutronics, thermal hydraulics of the core and the primary loop, and multiscale fuel performance simulations. The analysis was entirely created by coupling standalone simulations of the reactor previously available on the VTB. All input files and documentation developed for this example are available on the VTB website: \url{mooseframework.inl.gov/virtual_test_bed/}}. This model was featured in the NRIC Tech Talk presented in December 2021.
