The radioactivity then would become evident when the film was processed. After all, pocket dosimeters, used to determine exposure to radioactivity, use a sensitive material similar to photographic film to measure exposure. And if the amount of radioactivity is small enough not to fog film then chances are it's not enough to be hazardous or even worth considering. >P.S.
