We carried out molecular dynamics experiments to determine the reduced heat diffusion coefficient D ء th and the reduced thermal conductivity l ء of the three-dimensional classical electron one-component plasma, for the 1 # G # 20 range of the plasma coupling parameter G. In our simulations the temperature of the system was spatially modulated, and D ء th and l ء were calculated from the relaxation time of the temperature profile. D ء th was found to decrease with increasing G, while l ء decreased with increasing G for G # 4 (from l ء Х 2.3 at G 1.1 to l ء Х 0.6 at G 4) and was approximately constant (l ء Х 0.4) in the 8 # G # 20 range.
