The new HBO Chernobyl series has me pondering about this. For instance, after the unfortunate indicident of the reactor core exploding, radioactive graphite was seen exposed. Consequently, radioactive particles were emitted at an extremely dangerous level.
So, how to energy companies initially obtain the radioactive material? Where do they transport the material from? How do they safely transport the material?

Uranium requires a “critical mass” to sustain a chain reaction. If you don’t have that critical mass, you’ll just have regular old radioactivity, which can be dealt with using specialised containers and vehicles for transportation.
