July 6, 1979 Page 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.

~.ognizing that a hit on a auclear reactor would be highl'j unlikely by :..;1ab 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 communication with the Department of Energy (DOE), and will receive notification from tFem as soon as the reentry corridor can be established.

This notificacion 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.

!f it is determined that there are any licensed nuclear power plants in the reentry corridor, the plants will receive notification from their resjective 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 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 licnesee actions.

If you have questions regarding the matter, please contact the Director of the apprcpriate NRC Regional Office.

No written response to this informatice notice is required.
