It is not possible to say exactly how much the first nuclear bombs cost. The Manhattan Project cost $2,000,000,000; but most of that was to build the industrial infrastructure needed to enrich uranium, produce plutonium, fabricate bomb parts, and deliver the bomb to the target. Once setup the incremental cost per bomb produced is relatively small.
I estimate that the Trinity Gadget MK-III, Hiroshima Little Boy MK-I, and Nagasaki Fat Man MK-III bombs cost well under$1,000,000 each.
We had in production or scheduled for production a total of 23 nuclear bombs to be dropped on Japan in 1945 should she fail to surrender, only the first two of these were used.
- August three bombs, 1 MK-I & 2 MK-III
- September three bombs, 3 MK-III
- October three bombs, 3 MK-III
- November seven bombs, 7 modified MK-III using new composite plutonium/uranium core
- December seven bombs, 7 modified MK-III using new composite plutonium/uranium core
