Only if the percentage of the population injected is high, which is unlikely given it took 3 years to inject 20 rhinos. If the percentage is small, the poachers could just get a cheap radiation detector and screen out whatever portion of their haul is contaminated before passing it along. Further, many smugglers are unconcerned with detection, they already likely bribe a customs agent to ignore it.
