Why?
What's there to blow up?

At Traveller tech levels ~12-13, you're talking pure fusion weapons
ignited by high intensity laser or particle beams, or maybe even
gravitic implosion.

The fusion fuel (most likely lithium hydride) doesn't have to be
radioactive - proton-proton fusion seems to be what Traveller fusion
reactors do.

The missiles are likely to be propelled by gravitics, or at worst a
fusion thruster like HePLAR.

Magazine hits aren't going to cause explosions because there are no
conventional explosives there, or fissiles that could be induced by
stray neutrons.

The fusion fuel isn't going to fuse if it is nuked for lack of confinement.
