I just don't buy explosives sitting in a bank for decades. It's too risky. Oh, I don't know about that. It's not really outside the realm of possibility when you consider that people are still being killed by unexploded landmines from World War I. Modern explosives are pretty stable, and really hard to set off by accident. I mean, compared to having a time machine with super-advanced power source and a "not really" nuclear isotope sitting around....
They kind of don't need explosives, tho. The TDE or whatever was powering it was packing so much energy that all you'd probably have to do to cause an explosion is breach containment or overload it.
