Plutonium as a religious issue roils Council of Churches
The National Council of Churches considers a policy urging a moratorium on plutonium energy, framing the debate as theological and ethical.

It notes energy demand rises as fossil fuels deplete and cites a 1974 inquiry co led by Rene Dubos and Margaret Mead.
