I don't get it, are you thinking Titan's just a bomb ready to go off? I'm pretty sure that at least one meteor has hit Titan in the past with the energy of a nuclear weapon, and it's still there. Calculations trying to see if a nuclear bomb would ignite Earth's atmosphere were interesting, but it feels hubristic to think that any nuclear weapon would compare to Chicxulub.
Chemically, things are usually pretty much at equilibrium and if there's a giant energetic cliff, they'll fall off eventually. Nuclear-wise, sure, all the light elements could fuse (hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen...) and release energy, but that requires some fairly exotic conditions.
