6 Hospitalized in Mexico With Signs of Radiation Exposure

6 Hospitalized in Mexico With Signs of Radiation Exposure 06 Dec 2013 Six people showing signs of radiation exposure were hospitalized in central Mexico on Friday, government officials said, two days after a stolen truck carrying radioactive waste was found abandoned in the area, its potentially lethal contents disturbed. The authorities said the six are suspects in the robbery and are being detained. There was enough material in the waste shipment to deliver a dose within minutes that would cause illness within a day or two, and with  a few hours of exposure, a dose that would be lethal.
