Notes: A steady-state kinetic model for runaway electrons in the presence of radial diffusion in a stochastic magnetic field is adopted and solved for a constant magnetic diffusivity. The model is constructed to recover the correct runaway production rate in the absence of spatial diffusion. The parallel energetic electron distribution function f is found by matching the solutions from three regions in parallel velocity space and is employed to form moments of f. Upper and lower bounds on the spatial diffusion are obtained by using these moments and the model exhibits the strong sensitivity to collisionality needed to explain the difference between similar plasmas with little or no hard x-ray signal and those with significant hard x-ray signals.
