Jeff Place on INPO’s strategy for industry growth
As executive vice president for industry strategy at the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, Jeff Place leads INPO’s industry-facing work, engaging directly with chief nuclear officers.
Recent progress toward fusion pilot plants and the rapid growth of the commercial fusion sector have brought new urgency to developing a robust and scalable fusion energy supply chain. TOFE 2026 invites scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and industry leaders from around the world to explore how research, technology innovation, and industrial partnerships are converging to enable deployment-ready fusion systems. A mix of invited and contributed talks will address topics including fusion pilot plant design, component and materials development, enabling technologies, manufacturing readiness and supply chain resilience. Attendees will also have opportunities to tour regional facilities that support fusion and advanced energy technologies. Denver, Colorado—a growing hub for high-technology manufacturing and energy innovation— will provide an inspiring setting for collaboration and discussion.
Abstracts will be accepted as presentations based on technical merit, novelty of methods, and impact on the advancement of fusion energy. Presentations will be in the format of talks or posters. Space permitting, abstracts not selected for talks will be considered as posters. The final session topics and tracks will be finalized once all abstracts are received. Authors of accepted, presented abstracts may submit a journal manuscript to the Fusion Science & Technology (FS&T) TOFE special issue after the meeting.
