The paper presents the results of studies aimed at assessing weakly non-ideal dense plasma, the particles of which interact through the pseudo-potential taking account of collective effects. In the form presented, the pseudo-potential considers the simultaneous correlation of three particles. Viscosity and heat conduction have been calculated for plasma parameters 0.1-0.5. In using the molecular dynamics method for computation purposes, justifications for transport coefficients selected have been given. Viscosity and heat conduction coefficients computed are in good agreement with experimental data within the error limits. It is stated that the correct description of the transport properties of a weakly non-ideal plasma may be made by using the pseudo-potential presented.
