Laverova, did a good job planting the seeds of Nikolay's future responsibility for his duties and managerial style in science and government service. He graduated in 1949 from the Mining and Chemical College in Kirovsk (a small industrial town on the Kola Peninsula)

He originated radiogeoecological studies in Russia with the idea of using protective properties of the geological environment to prevent pollution of the biosphere by radionuclides from deep underground waste repositories. His innovative approach covered the general problem of radioactive waste disposal in the Earth's crust, migration of radionuclides in underground water and geochemical landscapes, synthesis and investigation of highly resistant waste forms for immobilization of the most dangerous long-lived radionuclides, and prediction of ecosystem evolution.

He set up the Geophysical Service in Russia and, as a result, a number of seismic hazards maps were released for nuclear facilities based on the efforts of the seismic station network. He initiated radiogeochemical mapping of the territory of Russia to facilitate the process of selecting sites for possible accommodation of long-term storage facilities for liquid highlevel radioactive waste, solid vitrified waste, and irradiated nuclear fuel.

In addition, with a keen interest in innovative technologies, Laverov encouraged and managed cooperative research projects in applied engineering with corporate partners Schlumberger, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and Boeing, aimed at developing new ideas, approaches, tools, and instruments for oil and gas exploration and environment protection. For the US National Research Council, he was appointed a member of the Committee on Disposition of HighLevel Radioactive Waste Through Geological Isolation: Development, Current Status, and Technical Policy Challenges (1999–2001)
