Tamosaitis had an opportunity to be heard. He met personally with Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, an MIT Professor of Physics.

Moniz is extremely bright. If Tamosaitis couldn't make his case to Secretary Moniz, then I would assume he didn't have much of a case.

In any case, Hanford has nothing to do with commercial nuclear power. Hanford was purely a facility for making materials for the US nuclear weapons program, and all the waste at Hanford is weapons waste. Therefore, it is totally the responsibility of the US Government.
