Bifurcations between thermal equilibria are studied in a slab radiating plasma at constant pressure. The thermal stability is discussed in connection with the behavior of the equilibrium solutions when the input power flux in the radiating layer is varied. A general necessary and sufficient stability criterion is demonstrated. In the case of a constant impurity concentration it leads to a simple stability condition in terms of the edge temperature only.
