Yes, Jim. I used to be concerned about the possible X-ray hazzards of 
Tesla Coils period so for several years I wore radiation badges while 
running any of my coils, including those with magneticaly quenched 
gaps and the result was that no detectable X-rays are produced in the 
normal operation of any Tesla Coil. I did once get a nasty exposure 
when I ran a Tesla coil in a room that had an old X-ray tube on the 
shelf, I now keep all X-ray tubes in Faraday shields so as to avoid 
this from occuring again.
