20555 July 6, 1979 IE Information Notice fio. 79-18 SKYLAB REENTRY Description of Circumstances:
The most recent dates for reentry of Skylab are July 10 to 14,1979, with July 12, as the most probable date.
tlecognizing that a hit on a nuclear power plant would be highly unlikely by Skylab debris, the flRC believes it would be prudent for licensees to review their contingency plans in case such an event should actually occur.
The NRC is in communication with the Department of Energy (DGE), and will receive notification from them as soon as the reentry corridor can be established.
This notification may occur within 1 to 2 f.ours before reentry actually occurs.
If it is deternined that there are any licensed nuclear power plants in the reentry corridor, the plants will receive notification from their respective Regional Office via the dedicated 9 hone line.
This Inforr:ation f:otice is provided as an early notification of a possibly significant ratter.
It is expected that recipients will review the informa-tion for possible applicability to their facilities.
fio specific action or response is requested at this time.
If further flRC evaluations so indicate, an IE Circular or Bulletin will be issued to recommend or request specific licnesee actions.
If you have questions regarding the matter, please contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.
fio written response tc this information notice is required.
