Er, all plutonium is "weapons grade."

Uranium must undergo isotope separation, which is hard. Plutonium from a breeder reactor can be separated from the low-grade Uranium via chemical means -- easy.

Can you get weapons grade stuff using centrifuges??

I stand corrected. Makes very good sense. Fox news said they had to do more tests to see if it was "weapons grade," which I guess in this context means plutonium.

FOX NEWS website headline: "Weapons Grade Plutonium Possibly Found in Iraq"

Just so that I may understand, "weapons grade" is redundant in the title in the sense that, with dirty bomb technology, any plutonium is weapons grade? Just that the weapon would be a dirty bomb, not a nuclear weapon delivered by missle?

Not being facetious -- seriously asking for guidance.
