To be honest, the primary energy using components on a Traveller starship aren't a closed state anyway (energy weapons are putting energy into space, drives are doing... something) so you can just set your power plants to arbitrarily high efficiencies (upper theoretical limit for fusion is something like 99.99%) and make do with minimal heat sinks.
