See post #55.
There were four bombs built with uranium that we got from Canada. There was only one test.
There were more in the pipeline and we did continue to build them until the 1946 test at Bikini Atoll when we abandon atom for nuclear.
Hanford was turning out enough plutonium to produce one bomb a week. Maybe no more Little Boy's but we could have produced a multitude of Fat Man.

You're right. My post was intended to say that, at that time, there were no more in the pipeline. I didn't intend to convey that we were, essentially, done. I thought it, I just didn't put it in my post. Aren't you psychic eneough to sense that!!?? :-)
