Abstract
Following earlier analyses for the planar and spherical cases, nonloca l electron radial transport is treated for cylindrical high-Z plasmas. Comparison of the result with earlier ones shows that, for the same p arameters, the magnitude of the nonlocal heat flux for the cylindrical case is intermediate between the planar and spherical cases, and some what closer to the spherical case.
