Which type of radiation, neutons or x-ray? (again have I missed something?)
Both are generated. In fact x-rays make up about half of all the energy that is generated. The design of the system is meant to capture the x-rays and convert them to electricity like a solar cell.
However, a small amount of neutrons is also generated in a side reaction to the main p11B reaction. For details see Aneutronic fusion.
