Actually, There is no weapons grade plutonium as it is all plutonium. Uranium has two isotopes and enrichment seperates the the two. U235 is the good stuff but makes up about .07% of naturally found uranium. Thus enrichment is required to get the good stuff.

Plutonium is plutonium. There isn’t any such thing as “weapons grade”.
