This is new to me. What they may have heard is that Beta decay is the
ejection of a very energetic electron from the Nucleus. This occurs when a
neutron decays and becomes a proton ejecting the electron (and an
anti-neutrino). However the neutron when a neutron in the nucleus is
electrically neutral and remains so thanks to the "weak" nuclear force.
