How much would it cost today to build an atomic bomb today like the one US dropped on Japan?

The first atomic bombs cost billions because they had to learn how to gather uranium and plutonium into a form that was good enough for a bomb and they had to design the bomb. Now a nuclear missile cost would be probably about a million or more. The cost of the newer missile is in the housing and maintenance of the missile.

The financial cost of hiroshima after the atomic bomb dropped?
The financial cost of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb dropped in 1945 was immense. It is estimated that the initial damage was equivalent to about $10 billion in today's currency, including the destruction of buildings and infrastructure. However, the long-term economic impact is harder to quantify, as the city's recovery and rebuilding took many years.

How did the war against Japan end?
It ended badly, with an atomic mushroom cloud and Russian Troops threatening the Home Island. Ultimately, it wasn't the fact that the United States used atomic weapons on the Japs, it was that the Japanese finally realized that loss of any part of Japan to the Russians would mean never getting it back! That is the only reason Japan surrendered! I don't think we had but one more atomic bomb left at that time. At any rate, the Japanese were quite used to taking 90 percent casualities. They didn't give a damn about civilians. Operation Tiger, the propossed invasion of Japan caculated a 1.5 to 3 million allied casualities. That's what the Japanese were preparing for us. Only the possible loss of part of the nation brought extreamists to the surrender table. Not atomic bombs. Yep, scarry Uncle Joe Stalin is really who they feared, not American B-29s creating firestorms, or even an invasion by Americans and British Troops. Somehow the Japanese held a notion that we would eventually leave and that they would get Japan back. Their honor intact with millions dead, but that would not be the case if the Russians ever go a hold of Japan. The idea of becoming the Soviet Socialists Republic of Japan didn't go down too well. Resistance is futile! You will be assimilated! Ah...No! Surrendering to the United States was far more attractive, and it proved a far better choice for the Japanese. Now, if they would only teach their own people about their own barbaric bid at world conquest, stop asking for an appology because the attack on us resulted in a couple of atomic explosions. Telling us they need only appologize once, but we should forever appologize for dropping an atomic weapon. Well, you can see now that didn't even matter as they still had no plans to surrender!
