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from being withdrawn, so that the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
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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.
IV
Accordingly, pursuant to Sections
104c, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182 and 186 of
