Several engineers at NASA recently questioned the proposal to add 100 bolts to a critical joint between the exhaust nozzle and the solid fuel segments in the Shuttle booster rockets. The purpose of the fasteners was to prevent further leakage of hot gases. Many engineers, however, saw these holes as another way for the gasses to escape because they were to be placed between inner and outer o-rings. (B Sun, Nov 3/86; W Times, Nov 3/86)
