A potentially dangerous substance that has been refined to the point where that potential is fully realised.
This term was originally applied to both uranium and plutonium. U235 is the fissionable isotope, but makes up less that one percent of natural uranium. This has to be increased to 90% (by an extremely laborious process) to produce weapons grade uranium. Plutonium for weapons is generally produced in nuclear reactors (the far more commn U238 is easily transumuted to P239) but again it has to be refined to about 95% purity before it can be used to make a nuclear weapon.
Nowadays anthrax is often referred to as being of 'weapons grade', but the usual term applied to chemical and biological agents is that they have been weaponised. Weaponisation describes the process of making them more potent or virulent, and packaging them for efficient delivery to the target. Weapons grade is the more colorful phrase that looks good on a headline and sounds oh so cool when used by a teen to describe a fart, say, or a fiery chilli. Already a cliche.
A resident of the town of Zmeinogorsk in Altai has handed eight containers of weapons-grade plutonium-239 to the police. Each of the containers handed in by Leonid Grigorov held 50 grams of plutonium. Grigorov planned to receive $8.25 per milligram after reading about rewards for surrendering radioactive material in the local media. However, criminal proceedings were instigated against him for “illegal storage of radioactive substances,” ITAR-TASS news agency reported Tuesday.
Man that J-Lo sure has a weapons grade ass!

Jimmy: Wow so this is 6th grade...
8th grader: Trust me, itβs an absolute war zone between everyone.
C'mon.. you just got out of elementary. Don't act like an idiot in 6th grade. The teachers are either strict or dense. Good luck to the poor 11-12 years old in there.
"I can't wait to graduate to 6th grade!"
The worst fucking year in the world. in the first few days its not bad but then all the dumbass kids start to enter. Who moans thinking its FUNNY and QUIRKY. then people screaming unfunny ass jokes which somewhat makes the whole class laughing. After a few weeks you see kids with vapes because they're dumbfucks who wants to get lung cancer and cancer really soon. After sometime you meet those girls who do tiktok dances and laugh over the tiniest things. Its considered fucking torture for quiet people in 7th grade (some quiet kids are cool) and then in P.E you get these fucking football kids who litteraly malds at you if you kick the ball somewhere and not the goal. They are going to fuck your ass up, and mostly pick on you. After P.E is over, these kids spray lynx effects like dumbass retards giving everyone asthma. Once i saw this one white kid spray deodorant in his P.E bags with his clothes and i said "Why are you doing that" and he said to keey it "fresh and clean". To be honest this is mostly my experience in 7th grade and i dont know how the fuck i managed through that year. Before this end i would like to say that in 7th Grade theres so many simps who try and impress the girls in P.E, mostly thots or girls who are popular, they try and seek attention from these girls and it doesnt work, however if they do they're probably going to break up in a few weeks. So if anybody is new in 7th grade, i wish you good luck.
Bozo: 7th grade is so ass
Joe: on god
