Oak Ridge National Laboratory is pursuing an active experimental and theoretical program directed toward developing the Elmo Bumpy Torus (EBT) concept of a fusion reactor. ERDA has requested Science Applications, Inc. (SAI) to perform an independent survey of EBT physics, in large part to determine how SAI can assist and supplement the present and proposed ORNL theoretical program on EBT. The results of the SAI survey are contained in this report, which presents discussions on a number of key technical areas in a manner designed to supplement and/or to emphasize aspects of the ORNL treatments. The subsequent discussion will show that large gaps exist in present knowledge of EBT phenomenology, some in areas that are vital to the viability of the concept. This is to be expected in view of the modest size of the EBT program to date.
