Abstract
A turbine blade rotor assembly provides sealing for the rotor components and bi-direction axially locking of the blades on the rotor using a seal plate on the aft exhaust side without axial locking on the forward intake side of the rotor and blade array. As a result, the blades can be removed from the aft direction without moving a turbine casing.
