An idea I had for NTM (not sure if it would work that well for GT though) was making the fusion reactor produce a new isotope or other fuel additive that could be used in fission reactors, which when depleted and reprocessed would yield something you could use for fusion again. You could play that game up to infinity but that would ensure that both fission and fusion would stay equally relevant as the energy production increases with each cycle.
