Nuclear partition functions were calculated for a grid of temperatures from1.2x10^10 K to 2.75x10^11 K (1<=kT<=24 MeV) within a Fermi-gas approach,including all nuclides from the proton-dripline to the neutron-dripline withproton number 9<=Z<=85. The calculation is based on a nuclear level densitydescription published elsewhere, thus extending the previous tables ofpartition functions beyond 10^10 K. Additional high temperature corrections hadto be applied.
