In a previous paper [2], we gave an explicit description of the structure of all semirings with a completely simple additive semigroup. The next step is then clearly to consider semirings with a completely 0-simple additive semigroup. We are able to classify these semirings according to the multiplicative nature of their additive zero. Let R be a semiring whose additive semigroup is completely 0-simple with zero ∞. First, if ∞ ∞ ≠ ∞, then the multiplication of R is trivial. Besides these trivial semirings, another class of semirings with a completely 0-simple additive semigroup can be easily obtained by adjoining an element ∞ which is together an additive zero and a multiplicative zero.
