Abstract
We say a tame Galois field extension with Galois group has trivial Galois module structure if the rings of integers have the property that is a free -module. The work of Greither, Replogle, Rubin, and Srivastav shows that for each algebraic number field other than the rational numbers there will exist infinitely many primes so that for each there is a tame Galois field extension of degree so that has nontrivial Galois module structure. However, the proof does not directly yield specific primes for a given algebraic number field For any cyclotomic field we find an explicit so that there is a tame degree extension with nontrivial Galois module structure.
