If there was no Cold War how large would the American nuclear stockpile be?

If there was no Cold War/Arms Race and relations between the US and USSR were vastly more friendly after WW2, how large would the US nuclear stockpile be?

In 1955 OTL the US had 2,400 nuclear weapons. In 1960 it was 18,600.

I'm guessing it would have been much smaller then in OTL, until an alarming threat apears there is no reason to have such a massive stockpile
