    The authors prove the theorem stated in the title of the paper. They adapt the original strategy of \textit{J. Tate} [Lect. Notes Math. 342, 524--527 (1973; Zbl 0284.12004)] for finding a finite list of generators of the tame kernel of a given number field. After much computation, sometimes using GP/Pari, they prove using these methods that the tame kernel of \(F=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_5)\) is generated by symbols of the form \(\{ u,w\}\) where \(u,w\) are absolute units of \(F\). They finish by showing that all such symbols are trivial.
