That seems extremely unlikely, since there are really only two types
of missiles that make much sense: those that kill by kinetic impact,
and those that kill by nuclear detonation. The first won't blow up at
all (or at least no more than any other stored energy bank), and the
second almost certainly require precisely created conditions to blow
up, and furthermore seem to be forbidden in Traveller.

I am no expert but it seems to me that nuke missiles would explode just fine if hit. I don't think the nuke would go off but the explosive that surround it could and that would be bad in a bank of missiles with nuke poisons all over the ship at the least..
