Highly enriched uranium ( HEU ) has a greater than 20 % concentration of < sup > 235 </ sup > U or < sup > 233 </ sup > U. The fissile uranium in nuclear weapons usually contains 85 % or more of < sup > 235 </ sup > U known as weapon ( s )- grade, though for a crude, inefficient weapon 20 % is sufficient ( called weapon ( s )- usable ); in theory even lower enrichment is sufficient, but then the critical mass for unmoderated fast neutrons rapidly increases, approaching infinity at 6 % < sup > 235 </ sup > U. For criticality experiments, enrichment of uranium to over 97 % has been accomplished.
