    We say a tame Galois field extension L/KL/K with Galois group GG has trivial Galois module structure if the rings of integers have the property that \Cal{O}_{L} is a free \Cal{O}_{K}[G]-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 ll so that for each there is a tame Galois field extension of degree ll so that L/KL/K has nontrivial Galois module structure. However, the proof does not directly yield specific primes ll for a given algebraic number field K.K. For KK any cyclotomic field we find an explicit ll so that there is a tame degree ll extension L/KL/K with nontrivial Galois module structure
