Radiation safety in my fusor

So, I'm currently building a fusor that's able to sustain fusion in it. Now, since fusors do emit radiation, the question is, how much of it? Because, the fusion reaction itself produces fast neutrons, who aren't exactly beneficial for human health and X-rays also get made due to bremsstrahlung, but, which of those problems is worse and how much shielding do I need?
