20555 July 6, 1979 IE Information Notice No. 79-18 SKYLAB REENTRY Description of Circumstances:

The most recent dates for reantry of Skylab are July 10 to 14,1979, with July 12, as the most probable date.

Recognizing that a hit on a nuclear power olant 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 cccur.

The NRC is in communication with the Department of Energy (DOE), and will receive notification from them as soon as the reentry corridor can be established. This notification 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 'ower plants in the reentry corridor, the plants will receive notifi:3 tion from their respective Regional Office via the dedicated phone line.

This Information Notice is provided as an early notification of a possibly significant ratter.

It is expected that recipients will review the informa-tion for lossible 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 us required.
