20555 IE Information Notice No. 79-18 Date:

July 6, 1979

_ge 1 of 1 SKYLAB 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 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 theii contingency plans in case such an event should actually occur.

The NRC is in communication with the Department of Energy (D0E), and will receive notification from them as soon as the reentry ccrridor 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 raentry actually occurs.

If it is determined that there are any licensed nuclear power plants in the reentry corridor, the plants will receive notification f 'om their respective Regional Office via the dedicated phone line.

This Infermation Notice is provided as an early notifica. ion of a possibly significant matter.

It is expected that recipients will icview the informa-tion far possible applicability to their facilities.

No specific cction 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 matter, please contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.

No written response to this information notice is required.
