Abstract
We calculate thermal conductivity and shear viscosity of nucleons in dense nuclear matter of neutron star cores in the non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock framework. Nucleon-nucleon interaction is described by the Argonne v18 potential with addition of the Urbana IX effective three-body forces. We find that this three body force leads to decrease of the kinetic coefficients with respect to the two-body case. The results of calculations are compared with electron and muon transport coefficients as well as with the results of other authors.
