The momentum of the gamma ray is very low, and hence the energy transferred to the Ni is trivial by comparison to that of the gamma ray. If the reaction energy is in the form of gamma rays then these should be abundantly obvious. >like a cannon recoiling when it is fired. >Therefore nickel releases energy into the medium.
