After construction of the experimental reactor started in 2018, most of the scientists involved in the project abandoned their holidays – they worked day and night, and some stayed on site for more than 300 days in a year.

That's not ideal

Seems like might be a case of them really wanting to see it work. Most jobs don't really have any meaning beyond a paycheck, but this is a rare case of work being genuinely meaningful and interesting.

Presenteeism is a sickness and if I were Chinese Stalin, I'd be sending them home. It burns out people in academia very quick and it's not like Chinese has a lack of young graduates to put on projects like these
