Again, you can be afraid of imagined scenarios or you can do research.
Uranium in power plants is dangerous because there are literal tons of it in one place.
Any amount that could be feasibly moved has a low overall level of radiation (uranium has a super long half life, which means pound for pound it emits very little).
Don’t people wonder how Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still cities where people live today (hint, the ~10lbs of uranium in the bombs aren’t actually that much on a time scale of years)?
