LAGOON 421 The same but better!

Thanks to a new rigid bimini design which now extends the coachroof, the Lagoon 421 is clearly easier on the eye than its predecessor.

The mainsheet track is fixed to the bimini, so the cockpit can be 100% dedicated to relaxation. Apart from the davits, there are no fittings aft of the coachroof: children will appreciate it!

The nacelle enjoys generous lighting, thanks to the large ‘windows’. These are vertical and protected by the coachroof extension so as to reduce the greenhouse effect to a minimum.

Here is the revised and corrected version of the 420. With its less bulky lines and more hydro-dynamically efficient hulls, the 421 should make a name for itself as one of the most widely-distributed catamarans on the market.

Directly derived from the 420

Do you remember the Lagoon 420? Launched in September 2006, this cat displayed, with no complexes, a bulky coachroof and hulls with a very high freeboard. In short, Lagoon certainly designed, with this model, its most comfort-oriented boat. A daring wager, but one which finally paid off, as 179 Lagoon 420s have been built in three years. But times change, and customers once again appreciate performance under sail and good aesthetic qualities. The Bordeaux-based builder has slightly lowered the hull height and eliminated the rigid bimini perched very high above the cockpit. The sail plan has also been boosted from 97 to 103.4m².

The square-headed mainsail improves performance in light weather. Charter companies will opt for the short mast, which is more reassuring for inexperienced crews

For the moment, the electric motors are finished

The 420 attracted special attention because of its hybrid propulsion, derived from automotive technology. At the beginning of the production, all the models were equipped with it, until the builder returned to the good old diesels. The formula certainly works, but the performance is nothing like that with i...

Lagoon 421 – Longer and Better

It is another Lagoon model which was born as the improvement of the previous model, Lagoon 420. Lagoon 421 is one foot longer than her forerunner while some more improvements made it a completely new yacht. Bows are now vertical and transom skirts are much wider . Fixed bimini top extended living space from the saloon to the cockpit.

Skipper’s helm station is covered by fixed bimini while mainsail is cut in a manner to hoist the boom so there are no troubles with it colliding with skipper’s bimini while sailing. Since the boom is the hoisted part of the hardtop, it could be used even as a sunbathing area . If you do so, please take extra care because the edges of the roof are rounded and your towel could easily get stuck into the ropes.

The cockpit can be turned either into the dining area or lounge because it is equipped with a changeable table. The light is again the keyword for interior design since there are large vertical windows in the saloon as well as large sunlight windows in the cabins. Natural ventilation of all interior spaces is provided by large and convenient opening hatches. Wide sidedecks, as well as the aft deck, provide easy and safe walking all around this cat.

Bridgedeck is gullwing-shaped which brings additional comfort when sailing on the waves. Almost all mentioned above brings improved comfort and elegance , which was, in fact, the point of redesigning the previous model. I think it completely fulfilled its purpose.

Lagoon 421 is available in 3 or 4 cabin versions , depending on the owner’s demands and sailing schedule. Still, since it is a rather small yacht, I would recommend as a charter option for smaller groups so the comfort and elegance can get their full gloss.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Rosatom obtained a license for the first land-based SMR in Russia

On April 21, Rosenergoatom obtained a license issued by Rostekhnadzor to construct the Yakutsk land-based SMR in the Ust-Yansky District of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

Moscow Muled

Best raspberry moscow mule recipe.

Nov 27, 2019

In this post, we reveal the best recipe on the internet for the Raspberry Moscow Mule, which is a creative twist on the classic Moscow Mule. This post offers step by step directions to make an awesome cocktail that will be sure to impress your friends. Let's get started!

Introduction

The Moscow Mule is a classic cocktail that has offered the perfect combination of fiery and sweet since the 1940s, when it was first invented.

This drink is the perfect example of simplicity at its finest. Lime juice, ginger beer, and a shot of vodka are the three main ingredients for an ideal drink during the holidays, a hot summer’s day, or or really whenever you want to have a good time!

Throughout the years this drink has seen multiple variations enjoyed by many.

In this post, we’re going to show you the best way to prepare and enjoy a Raspberry Moscow Mule, which is a creative twist on the classic Mule cocktail.

Raspberries take this drink to another level, adding tart and tangy tones with a delicious texture. The bright pop of color adds to the festive nature of this drink.

We've come across a few recipes for the Raspberry Moscow Mule. We've taken into consideration the variations, techniques, and twists different recipes have to offer, found what works best, and formulated the best Raspberry Moscow Mule recipe for your enjoyment!

Ingredients:

• Fresh (or frozen) raspberries
• Fresh limes
• Ginger beer

Instructions:

1. Raspberries are the key component of this recipe. Depending on the consistency you prefer, you may end up with a smooth raspberry purée, a chunky raspberry sauce or a raspberry syrup. Each of these options is described below.

Raspberry Purée

Put a handful of fresh raspberries into your blender or food processor with a splash of lime juice. Blend until the fruit has broken down. Be careful not to blend too thinly where the seeds are small enough to slip through the holes of a strainer.

Place a strainer over a container and pour the raspberry and lime mixture into the strainer. Use the back of a spoon to press chunkier bits of the purée through.

Chunky Raspberry Sauce

This option is for those of you who enjoy the added texture from the pulp of the fruit. Drop a handful of fresh raspberries and freshly squeezed lime juice into a cup and then muddle the mash together until you reach your desired consistency.

Unless you want a mouth full of seeds, we recommend you use a strainer in this method as well.

Raspberry Syrup

Fresh and frozen raspberries can be used for this one. Frozen raspberries must be thawed properly before cooking.

Place a handful of raspberries and a dash of freshly squeezed lime juice into a saucepan on low to medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes or until the fruit breaks down while stirring frequently.

Be cautious, because cooking on high heat may cause the berries to burn. Add water as desired if you think the syrup is too thick.

Remove from heat and strain.

Refrigerate.

Note: Allowing the syrup to sit and cool will cause it to thicken slightly.

2. Now that you have your fruit blend, it's time to add the vodka. Add a shot (or two) of your favorite vodka to the raspberry and lime mixture and stir. Better yet, if you have a cocktail shaker make use of it by combining the ingredients in the shaker. Give it a few robust shakes like the skilled bartender we know you are!

3. Lastly, top off your drink with a bit of ginger beer to give it that fiery kick and bubbly fizz. Stir gently.

Now you have yourself a spicy and fruity cocktail with a distinct tartness that is sure to awaken your taste buds.

The thing about cocktails is that presentation accounts for half, if not most, of their appeal. Impress your guests by following our tips on garnishes and serving.

When it comes to garnishing your cocktail imagination is the limit.

• Stick a lemon or a lime wheel on the rim of your serving mug or glass. The yellow or green will contrast beautifully with the red drink, especially if you are serving your cocktail in traditional copper mugs.
• If you have a few leftover raspberries, make a fruit skewer by pushing a toothpick through two or three juicy raspberries. Balance the toothpick on the rim of the cup or simply prop it gently on the side. This garnish doubles as a quick snack.
• A bonus of using frozen fruit is that you can use a few leftover raspberries as a fruity alternative to ice cubes. Drop a couple of frozen raspberries into your drink to keep the temperature colder for longer.
• Herbs have been a classic way to garnish cocktails and the Raspberry Moscow Mule is no exception. You can use fresh sprigs of thyme, basil or mint. To fully enjoy the benefits these herbs offer, make sure to place the herbs in the palm of your hand and give them a swift clap to release their fragrances.
• Gently place your herb garnish on top of your drink.

The contrast of red and green will be lost on no one during the holiday season!

Moscow Mules of any variety are best served in authentic copper mugs. However, fear not if you don't have the famous copper mugs that Moscow Mules are traditionally served in. Although there is something to be said about the aesthetic value of that rich copper hue, this drink is just as tasty served over ice in any available cup or glass you may have on hand.

Serve and enjoy!

Substitutes and Additions

We want to make sure that the recipe for the best Raspberry Moscow Mule can be enjoyed by all. That includes those of us who prefer to skip the alcohol and of course, children. No one should be denied this deliciousness!

Raspberry Moscow Mule Mocktail

Creating a Raspberry Moscow Mule Mocktail is as simple as eliminating the vodka. That's it! Skip the second step of the recipe and you have a drink just as delightful without the alcohol.

Do note, however, that while most commercially sold ginger beers are non-alcoholic, there are a few brands that have an average of 4.8% ABV (alcohol by volume). Some brands carry a whopping 8.7% ABV! Check the label before you buy it.

Sweetness vs Tartness

It's clear that the tart flavor of raspberries is what gives this variation of the Moscow Mule its uniqueness.

Sometimes achieving that delicate balance between sweetness and tartness can be a bit more difficult than you expect. Raspberries picked at their peak stage of ripeness are the sweetest.

If you find that the tartness of the raspberries is a bit overpowering, you can balance the flavors by adding a touch of simple syrup. If you do not have the store-bought version, it's easy to make. Add 1 part water to 1 part white sugar in a saucepan and simmer on low to medium heat.

Let cool and add as desired.

Ginger Beer vs Ginger Ale

These are two distinct products with different tastes. When it comes to making a Moscow Mule, ginger ale is not a substitute for ginger beer . Ginger beer, though carbonated, is usually fermented which produces a sharper ginger taste.

Ginger ale, on the other hand, is simply carbonated water with more delicate ginger notes. When ginger ale is added to a Moscow Mule the taste is overwhelmed by the other ingredients. The result: another drink entirely.

Ginger beer gives the Moscow Mule the spicy ginger zing and bubbles it is recognized for.

In addition to ginger beer, we suggest adding seltzer or sparkling water to the mix for more of that crisp and refreshing fizz.
