I think Japan has had an ability to produce the nuclear weapon since pre 
WWII era,
which technology was imported from Germany.

I think US could not help dropping A-bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
before Japan could complete the project and drop it to US.

However, keep in mind that this opinion is not accepted by most ordinary 
Japanese folks,
who are thinking it is a taboo for all human being to have an ability to 
produce nuclear weapons.
This Japanese emotion is from a tribute to fallen A-bombs victims in 
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
This emotion is similar to a current tribute to fallen Afganistan and 
Iraq soldiers in UK and US. :'(
