The Manhattan Project began in 1942 and ended in August 1947, with the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission.

A rough estimate is that in this time 15 to 20 atomic bombs had been built, with 5 of those detonated, leaving a stockpile by the time the Manhattan Project ended of 10 to 15 atomic bombs.
