Pronghorn is a MOOSE based thermal-hydraulics code developed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) for advanced nuclear reactor analysis. It has been previously applied to model pebble-bed high temperature reactors (HTRs), liquid-metal cooled reactors, and molten salt reactors, among others. This work leverages the coarse-mesh modeling capabilities in Pronghorn to model the Oregon State University (OSU)'s High Temperature Test Facility (HTTF). The HTTF is a 1:4 height scaled-down facility of General Atomics' Modular High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (MHTGR). The facility is primarily built to generate data for code and model validation, and does not precisely replicate MHTGR conditions. Nevertheless, it encompasses the main physics associated with MHTGR transients.
