FYI, any hard vacuum tube when mated to some high voltage will produce some X-Rays. The old style Tv set rectifiers got so bad at this that measures eventually...
Other excellent tubes for producing x-rays are the shunt stabliser triodes from the line output stages of old color TV`s Excellent types are PD500, 6EN4, and...
