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 eccur.

The NRC is in communication with the Department of Energy (DOE), ano will teceive notification from them as soon as the reentry corridor can be established. This notification may occur within 1 tr

?. hours before reentry actually occurs.

If it is determined that are any licensed nuclear power plants in the reentry corridor, the plan., will receive notification from their respective Regional Office via the dedicated pione 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 indirste, an IE Circular or Eulletin vill be issued to recer. mend or request specific licnesee actions.

If you have questions regarding the matter, please contact tne Directoc of the appropriate NRC Regional Office.

.'<c written response to this information actice is required.
