According to Wilcox (Japan's Secret War), the Japanese detonated a test device in Aug 45. An interesting theory and not one easily refuted. Most historians believe that Japan was about one year from a device, but there is evidence that supports (but does not confirm) Wilcox's theory.
I have been trying to get a hold of some aerial survey photographs of Hamhung harbour prior to 12 Aug 45, but have not been successful.
