The ticking of a clock is constant, occurring at a steady rhythm/frequency. While the decay of radioactive elements cannot be determined at a particular point in time, they do decay at a fairly steady rate over time. This allows you to statistically determine the rate at which a mass of radioactive material will steadily decay. So, the decay rate is steady, predictable, and follows a sort of rhythm over time just like the ticking of a clock.
Metaphor is essentially based on comparison, suggestion of similarity. Hyperbole is based on exaggeration. But they are similar in that they both describe situations that are literally impossible. Metaphor: Mary is a cold fish (=not literally a fish, but an unemotional person, devoid of temperament); Hyperbole: Susan is as old as the hills (=very old; but no human can be literally as old as the hills); Mark has scores of girfriends (while in fact he may have three or four). Those two figures of speech can sometimes co-exist; if you say Mary is the coldest fish in the whole universe, that's metaphorical and hyperbolic at the same time.

A common metaphor for impatience is "a ticking time bomb." This metaphor suggests that impatience is like a bomb slowly counting down to explosion, representing the escalating tension and urgency felt by someone who is impatient. The comparison highlights the potential for a sudden and intense release of emotions or actions when patience runs out.
Something disastrous out come

The "nuclear reactor time bomb" theory was popularized by author and scientist Amory Lovins in the 1970s. Lovins argued that nuclear reactors posed safety risks and could lead to catastrophic accidents or intentional sabotage, likening them to a ticking time bomb.
As risky as walking a tightrope over a pit of fire. Like playing with a ticking time bomb. As perilous as navigating through a minefield.
