20555 July 6, 1979 IE Information Notice No. 79-18 SKYLAB REENTRY Description of Circumstances:
The most recent dates fcc reentcy of Skylab are July 10 to 14, 1979, with July 12, as the mou. probable date.
Recognizing that a hit on a nuclear power plant would be highly unlikely by Skylab debris, the NRC believes it would be prudent for licensees to review their contingency plans in case such an event should actually occur.
The NRC is in ccmnunication with the Department of Energy (DOE), and will receive notification fran them as soon as the reentry corridor can be established. This rctification may occur within 1 to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> before reentry actually occurs.
If it is determined that there are any licensed nuclear power plaats in the reentry corridor, the plants will receive notification frca their respective Regional Office via the dedicated phone line.
This Infornation Notice 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. No specific action or response is requested at this time.
If further NRC evaluations so indicate, an IE Circular or Bulletin will be issued to recomnend or request specific licnesee actions.
If you have questions regarding the matter, please contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.
No written response to this information notice is required.
