Stable Isotopes Studied For Rhino Protection
According to nuclear power giant Rosatom, there are currently more than 10,000 radiation detection devices installed around various ports of entry across the globe – at airports, train stations and border crossing checkpoints.
What these devices do, of course, is quickly detect the smuggling of any radioactive items. What they don’t do is protect wild animal poaching in any significant manner.
That is about to change. In a project that put together Rosatom, the Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa, scientists from around the world and rhinoceros veterinarian William Fowlds, poaching the dangerously threatened wild rhinoceros population will be soon be challenged by the use of those radiation detection devices.

A new international project to use nuclear science-based techniques to drastically reduce rhinoceros poaching has been launched in South Africa. The Rhisotope Project was initiated by the University of Witwatersrand in collaboration with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, Colorado State University (USA), Russian nuclear company Rosatom and the Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa as well as global scientists, researchers, rhino owners and veterinary surgeon and rhino expert William Fowlds.

The project will investigate introducing harmless amounts of radioactive isotopes into the horn of a rhino with the aim of decreasing the demand for rhino horn on the international market as well as making it more detectable when crossing international borders.
