You could use the gamma rays to generate the electricity....much like visible light photons hitting a solar array. Only problem is the gamma rays would tend to ionise the material they hit and you'd lose charge. What you'd need is a material which could undergo the photoelectric effect and create electron-hole pairs using very high energy photons, without completely ionising or not at all. Then you could bombard it with the gamma rays and extract the electricity from the array without eroding it away. If you can come up with that material, you'll win a Nobel Prize.
