- FEGION III July 6, 1979 IE Information Notice No. 79-18 SKTLAB REESTRY 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.
Recognizing that a bit 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 comunication with the Department of Energy (DOE), and vill receive notification frem them as soon as the reentry corridor can be established. This notification may occur <1 thin 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 plants in the reentry corridor, the plants will receive notification from their respective Regional Office via the dedicated phone line.
This Information Notice is provided as an early notification of a possibly significant matter.
It is expected that recipients will review the informa-tion for possible applicability to their f acilities. 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 recommend or request specific lienesee actions. If you have questions regarding the matter, please contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.
No written responst to this infor=ation notice is required.
