Abstract (en)

A rotor 12 of a turbomachine 10 includes a rotor drum 13 located at a central axis 14 and a plurality of buckets 16 secured to the rotor drum. A first negative reaction stage includes axial entry dovetailed buckets 116. An axial passage 70 for cooling flow 72 is provided between the bucket dovetail 50 and the dovetail slot 32 in the rotor drum 13. Cool steam at taken between a first stage bucket 116 and a second stage nozzle 118 and passed through the axial passage 70 to a low pressure sink 140 at an upstream end of the rotor 12.
