BACKGROUND |. Field ofthe Invention ‘The present invention relates to a steam turbine and a turbine rotor, more particularly, to a steam turbine and & turbine rotor allowing the use of high-temperature steam at 620° C. or higher, 2, Description ofthe Related Art For most of high-temperature parts in theemal power gen= ‘eration facilities, ferrite heat resistant steels excelleat i ‘manufacturing performance and economic efficiency have been used, A steam turbine of such a conventional thermal power generation fciliy is generally under asteam tempera- ‘ure condition on order of not higher than 600° Cand there- Joe, ts major omponents sucha a turbine rotorand moving blades aro made of feeitic heat resistant ste! However, in recent years, improvement in efficiency of thermal power generation facilities have been actively pro- moted from a viewpoint of environmental protection, and steam turbines utilizing high-temperaturesteam at bout 600° Care operated. Such a steam trbine inchides components requiring characteristics that cannot be satisfied by character- istics of the fervtic heat esistant steel, and therefore, these ‘components are sometimes made ofa heat resistant alloy oF ‘austenite heat resistant tee more excellent in high-tempera- ture resistance, For example, JP-A 7.247806 (KOKAD, JP-A 2000- 282808 (KOKA, and Japanese Patent No. 3095745 deserbe arts to construct a steam turbine power generation Laeilty ‘withthe minimum use of an austenitic material fora steam, ‘urbine uilizing high-temperature seu a 6$0° Co higher For example, in the steam turbine power generation facility “described in JP-A 2000-282808 (KOKAL},a superhigh-pres- sure turbine, a high-pressure turbine, an inteemeiatepres- sure turbine, a low-pressure turbine, a second low-pressure turbine, and a generator are uniaxially connected, and the super high-pressure turbine and the high-pressure urine are assembled in the same outer easing snd thus ane independent from the others, Further, in view of global environmental protection, a ned for higher efficieney enabling a reduction in emissions of (CO, SOx, and NOx is currently increasing. One of the most effective plans to enhance plant thermal efficiency in a ther- ‘mal power generation facility is to increase steam tempen- ‘ure, and the development of steam turbine on ord of 700° (Cv is under consideration, Punter, for example, JP-A. 2008-353603 (KOKAD,
