The suppression of edge-localized modes by means of the externally applied resonant magnetic field perturbations (RMPs) and its effect on plasma transport is investigated actively on modern tokamaks. In present paper the modification of loss rates of fusion born alpha particles caused by application of RMPs in tokamak plasma is examined. This study has been performed by means of test-particle simulations. To simplify calculations we use magnetic field model with circular magnetic surfaces. The transport properties of alpha particles are investigated during 3 seconds time interval by tracing the test-particle ensemble. Each particle trajectory is calculated by means of integration of full orbit equations. Three regimes of particle losses are identified during the evolution of the particle ensemble. The formation of magnetic islands together with the stochastic magnetic layers at the plasma edge is the natural consequence of RMPs excitation. It is demonstrated that due to the formation of these resonant magnetic field structures the irregularities of energetic alpha particle orbits occur, and hence the substantial increasing of the losses from the plasma periphery is observed. RMPs slightly affect the first orbit losses of fusion alphas.
