It could blow at any moment (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

powder keg

(Other definitions for powder keg that I've seen before include "Potential source of explosive violence?" , "Barrel for holding explosive" , "Dangerous situation" , "Guy Fawkes's kind of barrel?" , "potential disaster" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
