A new process in the physics of comets is considered theoretically: generation of short-wave radiation due to the creation of hot plasma clumps in high-velocity collisions of cometary and zodiacal dust particles. The efficiency of generation of short-wave radiation k(x) = E(x)/E(i), where E(x) is the energy of short-wave radiation from the plasma clump and E(i) is the kinetic energy of the relative motion of the dust particles that go into the creation of the plasma clot, is determined for three types of plasma radiation: bremsstrahlung, recombination and blackbody. A search for X-ray emissions from dusty comets of Halley type by remote observations seems warranted at cometary heliocentric distances of less than about 0.5 AU.
