They discovered fission, but they didn't discover the excess of energy nor did they discover that fission in U235 produced an excess of neutrons, that came later (as did the letter warning the President of the threat of a nuclear bomb).
Science is about finding out about the unknown so there's always going to be risks, and scientists work to understand and mitigate the risks.
The LHC is safe, they're not doing anything new that hasn't been done before, they're just doing it where it can be watched and studied.
