Err... no!
There's no way you can control a _nuclear_ blast with a simple magnetic
field!
Besides, if there was, don't you think _warships_ would be using this
method to generate insane amounts of thrust, etc?

No, it wouldn't make any sense at all! I mean, why have a shield facing
_forward_ if the actual nuclear blast is exploding next to your _head_?
