I doubt anyone in the public had any idea about the possibility of nuclear weaponry either.
Anyone who was following current developments in physics was aware of the possibility well before WW II started.
I actually wish that U.S. had tech to do fast factorizations since then we might be needing some new innovations when it comes to public key cryptosystems. RSA gets boring after a while and I really wish there was something fresh and just as fundamental to come since. Maybe there is and I missed it?
