Quantitation of 16S Ribosomal Subunit rRNA breaks

I understand 16S ribosomal subunit rRNA nucleotide sequences are highly
conserved among all creatures, great (eukaryotes) or small (prokaryotes).
I am planning cytotoxicity studies for quantitating the effect of
ribonucleases (added to the growth medium) on mammalian cells. Is there
any available, quick, cheap and/or facile means of determining specific
cleavage of breaks in the 16S rRNA?
