6 U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFrICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT REGION III July 6, 1979 IE Information Notice No. 79-18 GKYLAB 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.
Recognizing chat 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 conmunication 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 I 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 ccrridor, the plants vill receive notification from their respective Regional Office via the dedicated phone line.
This Information Notice is provided as an early not_lication of a possibly significant matter.
It is expected that recipients will review the informa-tion for possible applicability to their faci.1; ties. No spec'fic 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 licnesee actions.
If you have questions regarding the metter, please contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.
No siitten response to this information notice is required.
