We present the virial equation of state of low-density nuclear matter composed of neutrons, protons and alpha particles. The virial equation of state is model-independent, and therefore sets a benchmark for all nuclear equations of state at low densities. We calculate the second virial coefficients
Using a definition of droplets based on stability considerations, we find above the liquid-gas critical point a full line of "critical" points on which the droplet size distribution is a power law with an exponent r ~--2.2. Consequences on the interpretation of such distributions observed in nuclear
