As best as I know this would still be classified as Top Secret - Q.
The cost of creating the atomic bomb was approximately two billion dollars.
The cost of conducting an atomic bomb test can vary significantly depending on factors such as location, equipment, personnel, and administrative expenses. Additionally, the costs associated with the environmental impact and cleanup efforts can be substantial. Overall, it is difficult to determine a specific cost for an atomic bomb test.
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.
For America 5 billion dollars For Russia 1 favor
no, it saved at least an order of magnitude more lives than it cost
The reason was the cost and the amount of work put on the bomb.
It provided an alternative to the planned invasion of japan which would have cost thousands of lifes
It took the US 20 BILLION Dollars to develop the bomb.
The cost to build an atomic bomb today is difficult to estimate accurately, but it is likely in the billions of dollars due to the complexity and security measures involved. The costs include research and development, construction of facilities, obtaining necessary materials, and testing. Additionally, the cost could vary among countries.
Back in World War Two, the atomics costs were different to today’s cost in a sense since back them it was not only building the bomb but the research on how to get it done. The entire Manhattan Project in total cost more than 2 billion dollars in history records.
The first atomic bomb, produced by the ultrasecret Manhattan Project at a cost of $2 billion, exploded in the desert near Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. The results were recorded and Truman was sure that such force will end Japan's capacity to make war.
The U.S. originally built the atomic bomb to end WW2 because it was the only alternative to invading Japan, which would have cost many, many more lives and been worse for all involved. Now atomic bombs are used for a balance of power - "If you nuke us we'll nuke you back" is enough to stop a few wars.
