NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[IA–06–046] 

In the Matter of Mr. Nicholas A. 

Chaimov; Order Prohibiting 

Involvement in NRC-Licensed 

Activities (Effective Immediately) 

I 

Mr. Nicholas A. Chaimov was 

employed as a Senior Reactor Operator 

at the Reed College Reactor (the facility). 

Reed College (the licensee) is the holder 

of License No. R–112 issued by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or Commission) pursuant to Part 50 of 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) on July 2, 1968, for 

the facility. The license authorizes the 

operation of the facility in accordance 

with the conditions specified therein. 

The facility is located on the licensee’s 

site in Portland, Oregon. 

II 

On May 31, 2005, an inspection of 

licensed activities was initiated at the 

licensee’s facility in response to 

allegations received at the NRC 

Headquarters on May 19, 2005, that Mr. 

Nicholas A. Chaimov had engaged in 

deliberate misconduct. Specifically, it 

was alleged that Mr. Nicholas A. 

Chaimov had deliberately removed a 

jumper on the control rod drive circuit 

of the reactor without the licensee’s 

authorization or approval. Removal of 

that jumper prevented the shim rod 

from being withdrawn, so that the 

reactor could not be taken to the critical 

startup condition. That jumper had been 

properly installed, in accordance with 

the Reed College Reactor Safety 

Analysis Report (SAR), until Mr. 

Nicholas A. Chaimov deliberately 

removed it. The allegation was 

unresolved by the inspection and was 

subsequently referred to the NRC Office 

of Investigations (OI). OI completed its 

investigation and substantiated that on 

May 10, 2005, Mr. Nicholas A. Chaimov 

deliberately removed a jumper on the 

control rod drive circuit of the reactor 

without the licensee’s authorization or 

approval. Although this unauthorized 

facility modification did not adversely 

impact reactor safety nor was the health 

and safety of the public affected because 

the facility’s startup checklist detected a 

malfunction in the rod control system 

and the problem was corrected by the 

licensee before operation was allowed, 

conduct of this nature by an individual 

raises serious doubt as to whether the 

individual can be relied upon to comply 

with NRC requirements. 

III 

Based on the information obtained 

during the OI investigation, the NRC 

concludes that Mr. Nicholas A. 

Chaimov, an employee of the licensee, 

made changes to the facility so that it 

was not as described in the SAR. These 

changes caused the licensee to be in 

violation of 10 CFR 50.59, ‘‘Changes, 

test, and experiments.’’ It was further 

found that Mr. Chaimov’s actions were 

willful such that he had engaged in 

deliberate misconduct in violation of 10 

CFR 50.5, ‘‘Deliberate misconduct.’’ The 

NRC must be able to rely on the licensee 

and its employees to comply with NRC 

requirements in all material respects. 

Mr. Nicholas A. Chaimov’s action has 

raised serious doubt as to whether he 

can be relied upon to comply with NRC 

requirements. 

Consequently, I lack the requisite 

reasonable assurance that licensed 

activities can be conducted in 

compliance with the Commission’s 

requirements and that the health and 

safety of the public will be protected if 

Mr. Nicholas A. Chaimov is permitted at 

this time to be involved in NRC-licensed 

activities. Therefore, the public’s health, 

safety, and interest require that Mr. 

Nicholas A. Chaimov be prohibited from 

any involvement in NRC-licensed 

activities for a period of three years from 

the date of this Order. Furthermore, 

pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, ‘‘Orders,’’ the 

NRC finds that the significance of Mr. 

Nicholas A. Chaimov’s conduct 

described above is such that the public’s 

health, safety, and interest require that 

this Order be immediately effective.

104c, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182 and 186 of
