Originally to end a total war, called World War 2. Back in those days (pre-Atomic Age) man fought wars to win at all costs...with any weapon available. With the invention of nuclear weapons man can no longer fight with any weapon available (such as nuclear weapons); because if he does he will destroy himself. It was called, "Mutually Assured Destruction."

How many atomic bombs did US have in 1946?

By the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946, the US had built a total of 9 atomic bombs and detonated 5 of them, leaving only 4 in the stockpile. Records obtained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists suggest that by the end of 1946 the US had built 5 more atomic bombs, ending the year with 9 in the stockpile.While the Hanford reactors had a design capacity of 3 atomic bomb cores every month, its very obvious that they were being operated far below capacity through 1945 and 1946 to minimize neutron irradiation damage to the graphite moderator and/or shutdown for repairs frequently.
