Abstract
An entropy production formula for dissipative radiative plasmas is derived. This result is consistent with Israel's theory of relativistic transient thermodynamics and it generalizes a formula obtained earlier by Weinberg from conventional relativistic hydrodynamics. It is shown that our formula follows independently from a phenomenological as well as from a kinetic approach. The emphasis in this paper is on the kinetic derivation. A special section is devoted to the role of bulk-viseous entropy production.
