The 1/ neoclassical transport (effective ripple) is calculated for the l = 3 Uragan-3M torsatron in the presence of magnetic islands caused by a small eccentricity in the vertical field coils. The technique used for the calculations is based on integration along magnetic field lines in a given stellarator magnetic field. For comparison, calculations are also performed for the case of negligible eccentricity.
