Not thrilled about that part, but the "Soon after" refers to events past, not the success this article is about.

However, the latest experiments...

So, at least the fusion research is still funded and still moving.

This bit of the fusion research is mostly aimed at making small-scale experiments on weaponised nuclear fusion without having to set off nuclear bombs every other day. As a long-term energy source, it is assumed to be rather unusable.
