On May 4, 2017, Youth Arts New York/Hibakusha Stories sailed on the Hudson River Clearwater Sloop with 40 students from EF International Academy. They chose the Verplanck Dock, nearest to Indian Point Energy Center, a nuclear power plant 25 miles north of the Bronx. Alice Slater, Robert Croonquist and Kathleen Sullivan visited Rosalie Frison’s classes the week before and conducted a Teach-In on nuclear guardianship. Clearwater measured a 3 degree increase in water temperature near the plant.
