Mean-field theory of quantum hadrodynamics is used to study the Coulomb instability of asymmetric nuclear matter at finite temperature. The critical temperature for the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear matter and its dependence on an asymmetry parameter are calculated. The limiting temperature [ital T][sub lim], which reflects the Coulomb instability of hot nuclei is studied.
