That's a difficult one. The Manhattan Project in WW2 consumed a great deal of US industry but I don't know if it affected the rest of the war effort. In any event it brought the war with Japan to an abrupt end so it may have saved money in the end.

Later in the Cold War both the US and Soviet Union spent a great deal on building up and maintaining nuclear weapons, but I don't know if these costs have ever been stated, I doubt it, though the overall US expenditure on defence is presumably recorded.
