Abstract: A ring

R

is said to be clean if each element of

R

can be written as the sum of a unit and an idempotent. In a recent article (J. Algebra, 405 (2014), 168-178), Immormino and McGoven characterized when the group ring

m a t h b b Z_{(p)} [C_{n}]

is clean, where

m a t h b b Z_{(p)}

is the localization of the integers at the prime

p

. In this paper, we consider a more general setting. Let

K

be an algebraic number field,

m a t h c a l O_{K}

be its ring of integers, and

R

be a localization of

m a t h c a l O_{K}

at some prime ideal. We investigate when

R [G]

is clean, where

G

is a finite abelian group, and obtain a complete characterization for such a group ring to be clean for the case when

K = m a t h b b Q (z e t a_{n})

is a cyclotomic field or

K = m a t h b b Q (s q r t d)

is a quadratic field.
