Being a bit disingenous here, this is not an EU project and the EU couldn't afford to do it on their own either.
ITER is an international project, proposed by General Secretary Gorbachev of the former Soviet Union to US President Reagan in 1985. Work started between the USSR, the USA and participating EEC nations in 1988. Currently, participation is the EU, China, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States.
While there are sound economic arguments for remaining in the Single Market, there is no convincing reason that we cannot agree to continue to participate in ITER after leaving the EU.
