Natura and HiFunda molten-salt chemistry sensor development
Natura announced an agreement with HiFunda to develop an electrochemical molten-salt chemistry sensor. The release describes development work, not evidence that a complete nuclear-grade sensor had been qualified or installed in an operating reactor. HiFunda's reported prior component work does not establish completion of the whole instrument.
