Thanks .The information presented is not complete. Chemist Kazuo Kuroda worked at Riken during the war. He had documents that he told his wife to return to the Riken scientific research institute after he died. Drawings were published and experts concluded they "do not believe the bomb would have been very powerful."
Since "very powerful" appears to be a rather subjective measure, that still leaves open though the question whether those very same experts believed whether it could have been functional at all?The information presented is not complete.

I see the overly emotional have arrived on cue. Let's start with the Abilene Reporter-News, October 3, 1946. Page one has "Japs Had A-Bomb Just Before Soviets Arrived." Here's a photo of Albert Einstein at Riken:

The nature of the site where that old article was found should have been a warning.
Germany Atomic Research was too underfunded to reach a construction of A-bomb .The nature of the site where that old article was found should have been a warning.
Indeed ! If not already deterred by the awry title ("...ON THE INTERENT !"), or the "fact", that
on that site Martin Luther obviously seems to have been canonised, the nonsensical story of the
German A-bomb test in Thuringia is perpetuated again ...

Neither Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan came particularly close to building a fission a-bomb during WW2.
Neither nation saw it as a realistic industrial goal; partially based on limited/ mistaken technical understanding, partially based on realistic understanding of what their economies were capable of while trying to sustain total war against an economically superior coalition of enemies.
Anything else is very much fringe conspiracy theory nonsense totally unsupported by actual historical fact.

Interesting. So the ALSOS Mission turned up nothing? Had I gone with the above, not to mention others, further research would have stopped. The Deutsches Museum had been negotiating with the Americans for the release of documents related to German history from the period. In the late 1990s, release was granted for a portion of those documents. In 2001, the Deutsches Museum put select documents on display. You can contact them. Example:

European Theater Of Operations
United States Army
ALSOS Mission

SUBJECT: Gerlach Summary of Nuclear Reports
1. A new edition of "Forschungsberichte" was planned containing articles on successful pile experiments. Five articles in all were contemplated, and Gerlach wrote an introductory summary. We found this introductory summary in rough pencilled form, which gives the status of the project as of January1945.

Look at what was going on in the Axis nuclear projects. Compare and contrast with the Manhattan Project. 28 billion dollars in modern money. Two vast facilities in Oak Ridge TN and Hanford WA with 130000 employees. This require the joint efforts of the US, UK, and Canada. Neither Germany nor Japan had these sort of resources to spare.Germany Atomic Research was too underfunded to reach a construction of A-bomb .The nature of the site where that old article was found should have been a warning.

How do you know that?
