Gerald Holtom had originally considered using the Christian cross symbol within a circle as the motif for the march but various priests he had approached with the suggestion were not happy at the idea of using the cross on a protest march.
Later, ironically, Christian CND were to use the symbol with the central stroke extended upwards to form the upright of a cross.

 Glossary [A-Bomb to AWACS] | atomicarchive.com
The atomic bomb is an explosive device that depends upon the release of energy in a nuclear reaction known as fission, which is the splitting of atomic nuclei.
Atomic number is often symbolized with the letter Z and is shown as a numerical subscript to the left of its chemical symbol.
For example, the letter C preceded by a superscript number 12 and a subscript number 6 indicates a carbon atom of atomic mass 12 and atomic number 6, the difference being equal to the number of neutrons present in the nucleus.
