A spokeswoman with Hidalgo’s Health Department says that only the 16-year-old showed signs of radiation exposure and that he too is in good health.
An official with federal prosecutors says the men will be turned to investigators for questioning in the theft of highly radioactive cobalt-60.
Both officials spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because they aren’t allowed to discuss the ongoing investigation.
