First of all, the diagram is preposterous on the surface. He claims "1 MJ" in a beta reaction. Since one J = 6E12 MeV, the "1 MJ" would be 6E18 MeV of energy in the beta - preposterous.
But, lets presume it is a typo and what he meant to say was 1 MeV instead of 1 MJ in the beta. Of course, beta emission is accompanied by large statistical variation due to the neutrino that carries away random amounts of the energy. But, let's say that some of the beta particles are nearly 1 MeV. When these beta particles strike the Ni or any of the walls of the apparatus, they would create a very high energy bremsstrahlung spectrum that would be easily detectable outside the apparatus - wouldn't they?
