I stand corrected. What I meant was that a lot more detail about most of those issues would have been available the very next day.
Sure, some of them. They were worried about accidental leaks though — someone not realizing that, say, the fact that plutonium was in the Nagasaki bomb was safe, but not realizing that they couldn't say "and you could fit it in a tiny box only this big!" was not.pic.twitter.com/J5SWWZzK8L

Wonder what ever happened to those original little core boxes. Any information on where the ended up?

In those first days after the bombs were dropped, Groves worked hard to hold back an imagined tide of info, but let enough out that the press and public would feel informed. They called this whole operation "Publicity," but it was really about secrecy.
