The high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) technique has been used to study the reaction H + H/sub 2/O ..-->.. OH + H/sub 2/(k) in the temperature range 1160-1390 K. This reaction is a potential interference in all OH kinetic studies above ca. 1000 K when OH is produced by H/sub 2/O flash photolysis. Values of k were determined at 1158, 1274, and 1387 K from OH resonance fluorescence measurements and were fitted by the simple Arrhenius expression (5.2 +- 4.5) x 10/sup -10/ exp(-(11.1 +- 1.1) x 10/sup 3//T) cm/sup 3/ molecule/sup -1/ s/sup -1/.
