Abstract
A method of assembling a turbine comprises coupling at least one bucket assembly. The bucket assembly including an upstream side, a downstream side, a blade extending therebetween and a dovetail extending radially inwardly from the blade to a rotor. The method further comprises fixedly securing the at least one bucket assembly to the rotor with a shear pin that extends from the bucket assembly upstream side to the bucket assembly downstream side.
