  The possibility of using a tensor polarized deuteron target in
electroproduction reactions creates new opportunities for studying different
phenomena related to the short-range hadronic and nuclear physics. The use of
tensor polarized deuteron allows to isolate smaller than average inter-nucleon
distances for the bound two-nucleon system. In this report we consider several
of high $Q^2$ reactions which are particularly sensitive to the short-range
two-nucleon configurations in the deuteron. The one is the relativistic
dynamics of electron-bound-nucleon scattering which can be studied in both
inclusive and exclusive reactions, other is the strong final state interaction
in close proximity of two nucleons that can be used as a sensitive probe for
color-transparency phenomena.
