Yeah, that's another thing: in my experience (including previous
discussions on list), Traveller in general tries to pretend that waste
heat just... doesn't exist.  Because there's really no way to
practically get rid of it, when working with the established numbers for
energy production/use, surface area, etc etc.  So most (all?) editions
just straight up *ignore* it.  Which, I must admit, is accurate to the
mostly early-to-mid-20th century source material, which did the same (or
never even imagined/realized it would be a concern).
