Would it be possible to direct the blast of a nuclear explosion, simnilar to the way a shaped charge works ?

Given a large enough magnetic feild it might work, but I can't really imagen anything that will guide a several million degree blast, why would you any way?

3 reaons. This owuld causes a crater in teh ground, noraml nuclear explosions actualy do not do much damage in depth. This could be used for Mining, Deep underground bunkers, and destroying a astroid aimed at earth.

In space you need a working fluid, mass to be the reaction mass for asteroid deflection. That would be the asteroid and the bomb casing. You would chamber out the asteroid to work like the shock plate that you would find on an ORION.
 
GOOGLE the concept.

which I can no longer find (1985/6?  1995/6?) treated what they called 4th generation nukes - which indeed could be focused into a hemisphere, a cone, a cylindrical blast.  As Herald said, I believe it had chiefly to do with shaping the core.
