Abstract: There are many results describing the structure of the tame kernels of algebraic number fields and relating them to the class numbers of appropriate fields. In the present paper we give some explicit results on tame kernels of cubic cyclic fields. Table 1 collects the results of computations of the structure of the tame kernel for all cubic fields with only one ramified prime $p,$ $7\le p<5,000.$

In particular, we investigate the structure of the 7-primary and 13-primary parts of the tame kernels. The theoretical tools we develop, based on reflection theorems and singular primary units, enable the determination of the structure even of 7-primary and 13-primary parts of the tame kernels for all fields as above. The results are given in Tables 2 and 3.
