Let 0F) denote the integers of an algebraic number field F. Classically the Dirichlet Units Theorem gives us the structure of the K-group K1(0F). Then recently the structure of the K-group K3(0F) was found by Merkurjev and Suslin, [11]. But as of now we have only limited information about the structure of the tame kernel K2(0F).
