The symbol you need is bones. Bones are always associated with death and decay because after death, bones are the thing that’s left.

I think the only way to get it taken seriously is to include depictions of the site and depictions of what radiation sickness looks like.

Make like a 100 page comic that starts with someone opening a cask and removing a fuel element, then dying days later, the element leaving contamination, which kills someone else months later, causes birth defects, etc until it's returned.

You're not going to scare a society into never investigating something, but you might be able to convince them to put it back and bury it again after they realize the predictions are accurate.

And what exactly do you make the comic book out of?

Because "pages" denotes paper and paper will disintegrate long before this place becomes safe

You carve it into the walls. Make the walls out of quartz or something that's not materialy valuble, but very hard to destroy and impossible to steal.
