The ratio of the runaway electron confinement to thermal electron energy confinement is derived for tokamaks where both processes are determined by free streaming along stochastic magnetic field lines. The runaway electron confinement is enhanced at high runaway electron energies due to phase averaging over the magnetic perturbations when the runaway electron drift surfaces are displaced from the magnetic surfaces. Comparison with experimental data from LT‐3, Ormak, PLT, ST, and TM‐3 indicates that magnetic stochasticity may explain the relative transport rates of runaways and thermal electron energy.
