20555 IE Information Notice No. 79-18 Date:

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. Recognizing that a hit on a nuclear reactor 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 connunication with the Department of Energy (DOE), and will receive notification from thea as soon as the reentry corridor can be es t;.u lis hed. 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 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-tica 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 recem. mend or request specific licnesec acticas.

If you have questions regarding the matter, please contact the Director of the appropriate NRC Regional Of fice.

Ne written response to this information notice is required.
