  We present the results of an analytical calculation of the distribution of
gluons in the state immediately following a heavy ion collision in the
quasi-classical limit of QCD given by McLerran-Venugopalan model. We show that
the typical transverse energy Et of the produced gluons is of the order of the
saturation scale of the nuclei Qs, as predicted by Mueller. We demonstrate that
due to multiple rescatterings the obtained gluon distribution remains finite
(up to logarithms of k) in the soft transverse momentum limit of k << Q_s. We
compare the gluon spectrum in the single nuclear wave function before the
collision to the spectrum of the produced gluons. The total number of produced
gluons turns out to be proportional to the total number of gluons inside the
nuclear wave function before the collision with the proportionality coefficient
c = 2 ln 2.
