85 to 90% is my understanding. One of the areas where there isn't much to be gained surprisingly!

I mean based on the spectrum of xrays used, not produced.

My reference for this is photolithography, where the need for a very narrow band of xrays creates a huge problem. If a broader spectrum will do here, then OK, not a problem. Will a broad xray spectrum really do?

The x-rays are essentially just heating the fuel capsule, so spectrum doesn't matter much.
