I am very ignorant on this subject, so i'll be thankful for correcting any wrong assumptions here. As far as i know, both the Little Boy and Fat Man were built in Los Alamos. How would the media, the people and the US Goverment react had one of them accidentally explode during the process? Could such an explosion happen in Hanford Site or any other place of early devolopment or it was just possible during the final assemble?

Thank you all beforehand.
