Calculations are made for neoclassical resonant plateau transport in the geometry of the effectively axisymmetrized tandem mirror GAMMA 10 magnetic field, which has minimum B inboard anchors inside the axisymmetric plug/barrier mirror cells. Azimuthal drifts in the local, non-axisymmetric regions are included. The radial potential profile is determined by solving the charge neutrality equation self-consistently. A finite resistance connecting the end plate to the machine ground provides appropriate boundary conditions on the radial electrostatic potential distribution so that it can be determined uniquely. The calculation is consistent with experimental results of GAMMA 10.
