July 6, 1979 IE Information Notice No. 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 che most 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 ecmmunication 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 actuully 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 e' 2n early notification of a possibly significant matter.

It is expected.aat 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 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 response to this information notice is required.
