Its easy to cover up emissions of radioactivity. You can't see, taste or smell it. As long as you don't talk about it, 'it doesn't exist'.

Except it's easy to detect radiation with even a cheap store-bought geiger counter. You can get them on Ebay or Amazon.
So actually it's very hard to cover up emissions of radioactivity if people decide to actually go and look for it with the right equipment.
emphasis mine.
The site should be marked, on the assumption that leaving it unmarked would pose greater risks to the future. Current mining activities in the area, alone, would make the choice of not marking extremely risky for present-day (i.e., living) humans, and cumulatively more dangerous for those living between now and 12,000 A.D.
At present the WIPP is in an area of active oil production, gas production and potash mining (Pasztor, 1991, IX-27).

If people truly believe how dangerous nuclear power is, how can we let iran have reactors? That's a recipe for disaster.

They tell us almost no truths. There were many youtube videos showing how radiation mutates plants and animals in the area of Fukushima but they are mostly gone now.
