What I've read indicates that there is very little risk of neutron release at such low energies however articles I've read indicate that it is not impossible.. X-rays are the biggest concern. At 12,000v they will begin to breech the vacuum chamber viewing port and as such any observations will be made by means of a camera and mirrors.. The upside is that any radiation emissions are isotropic and as such the radiation drops by the square of the distance from the source, so at a few feet away there should be no dramas.
Obviously more research is needed prior to construction and power up. I will sign up as a fusioneer tomorrow.
Thanks Peter.
