Let denote the contracted semigroup ring of the ompletely 0-simple semigroup D over the ring R. The Rees structure theory of completely 0-simple semigroups is used to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions that have zero radical (Theorem 3.8). By using Amitsur's construction of the upper π-radical [1], we are able to treat the Jacobson, Baer (prime), Levitzki (locally nilpotent) and possibly the nil radicals simultaneously. Our results generalize a theorem of Munn [6] on semigroup algebras of finite 0-simple semigroups.
