If about 1/2 of the energy from the fusion reaction is x-rays, then of what form is the rest of the energy?
about half is the kinetic energy of the charged particles, and there is also remaining heat to dispose of.
Furthermore, don’t the outputted x-rays vary widely in frequency?
yes, though this will be pinned down somewhat by the powerful magnetic fields.
the goal, with those, is to suppress high-energy x-rays.
