For a Kummer radical over a faithfully flat A-algebra T, formal unramifiedness over A forces its positive exponent to be a unit in A. The radicand may be any element of T; no unit or descent hypothesis on it is needed for this direction.
Taking T to be the algebra obtained from all preceding radicals gives the last-exponent step for an iterated Kummer construction.
