Actually, as has been mentioned before when this question has been raised, per LPP the electron beam is not expected to make it out of the plasmoid in an all-up p11B configuration.
It will exist, as it is paired with the ion beam just as in a normal DPF, but it is expected to expend its energy heating the plasmoid and increasing the fusion rate.
While the anode is going to have a lot to deal with, it is thought that the concentrated damage from beam strikes is not going to be the deal it is with current DPF units.
