... that Donato Palumbo's leadership of Euratom's fusion power organization led to him being known as the "founding father of the European fusion program"? Source: direct quote from Jacquinot
Overall: All good. Hook is verified by the Jacquinot source in the article. New enough (nominated day of creation), more than long enough, and no copyvio. Both hooks are interesting, though my personal preference would be the alt (somebody's gotta be the founding father of the European fusion program, right?). Definitely has more intrigue as well: would make people want to click to discover how he disobeyed, and the article does not disappoint. Article's in good shape, is decently understandable to a non-technical audience, and everything else that could be expected is above water. Congratulations!
