A theory of multicomponent liquid hydrogen solutions is presented which corrects for nonidealities in vapor-liquid equilibria. The second virial coefficient is used to represent gas nonideality, and a binary interaction parameter is used for liquid nonideality. The latter is the primary contribution for the deviation from Raoult's Law of H₂-D₂ solutions between 15 and 27 K. Estimates are made for the parameters needed to describe the D₂-DT-T₂ solutions of hydrogen fusion interest.
