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
What else can I help you with?
Where were the first nuclear bombs dropped?
A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
What are the effects of EMP explosion on the body?
First of all, EMPs don't really explode like a nuclear bomb. It releases alot of energy like a nuclear bomb. EMP's do not affect the body... that much.
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.

Is there a difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear bomb?
There isn't much difference in these terms. Both refer to nuclear weapons, and they are general terms that can pretty much be used interchangeably.
What is the difference of a hrdrogen bomb and nuke?
A hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear bomb that uses a two-stage process involving fission and fusion reactions, resulting in a much more powerful explosion than a traditional nuclear bomb, which typically only uses fission reactions. In contrast, a standard nuclear bomb, also known as an atomic bomb, relies purely on fission reactions to release energy.
How much did the nuclear bomb little boy weigh?
The Little Boy nuclear bomb weighed about 9,700 pounds (4,400 kg).

Is a hydrogen bomb a nuclear type of energy?
Yes, a hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a huge amount of energy through nuclear fusion reactions. This energy release is much more powerful than that of a typical atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission reactions.
How much does one nuclear bomb cost taxpayer?
