Anomalous transport in a reversed field theta pinch is examined. The principal effects are anomalous resistivity and rotation generation. Similarity solutions for the resistive decay are found which agree qualitatively with experiment. Also, it is shown that the spin up and anomalous resistivity may be the effect of a single underlying cause, a current-driven microinstability.
