Erm yes, a nuke will kill a cockroach, in fact a concentration just six times that of the human limit will kill most cockroaches this is because cells only become cancerous from radiation in division and cockroaches cells divide every few weeks when they molt, a world submerged in fallout would still have a terrible effect on our poor little insect friends. In further addition, as a living creature, they still require oxygen to survive and temperatures that don't exceed 150 degrees. Organic materials don't = life as well. There are organic compounds such as amino acids on Titan, (At least this is what scientists speculate) however Titan isn't too far off absolute zero the chances of life, at least on the surface, are small.
