I was surprised the other day to learn Russia was still in ITER at full capacity and delivering their pledged components. apparently, the biggest disruption has been Russian scientists based in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance having difficulty transferring money home. I’d have thought CERN would be even less contentious. Was this even state pressure, or is it STEM PhD turbo libs outrunning their handlers?
