[Starship Troopers] How are the bugs able to launch projectiles capable of leaving Klendathu, let alone Buenos Aires?

So, the bugs are capable of launching projectiles capable of reaching space. 

How? 

Presumably, they're organic creatures. They don't appear large enough to contain enough chemical propellant to launch projectiles into space, ala a scaled up blister beetle. 

Are they nuclear? If so, why don't the space marines take precautions to prevent radiation hazards?

If you're talking about the novel the bugs are capable of space travel and have advanced technology equal to the federation.  If you mean the movie the plasma bugs hit the orbiting asteroids and project them at ftl speeds towards a target.  It's hard to explain scientifically but they do have the ability to hurl their spawn at planets in a large mass to colonize as well as exist in the vacuum of space without suits or discernible technology.
