I'm not sure what you mean by "antimatter that carries the radiation." Break up an anti-uranium nucleus, and it's going to throw off antimatter fragments, gammas, and neutrinos. Now, true, pound for pound, anti-uranium 235 is going to be more hazardous than regular uranium 235, but either one could ruin your day.

There wouldn't be a way for regular matter to carry antiradiation

Not quite true - there are ways for "regular" matter to produce antiparticles. For instance:
