The designers have acknowledged it in their risk assessment. Some sites quote a figure for some designs being as bright as a quarter moon, but I can't find a reliable source for that info.

The prototype for the 10MW generator is depicted as returning the beam back along its axis from a reflector panel, towards a collector that is offset via a secondary mirror, basically a big Newtonian telescope. That would definitely get your attention at midnight.
