Is it practically feasible to direct the blast of an atomic bomb such as with shaped charges?

Pic unrelated. I'm not planning to blow up your planet.

That's just ridiculous.

Actually, there is the nuclear equivalent of a shaped charge. They were designed for the Orion nuclear-pulse propulsion system. Most of the energy was emitted in two cones, one forward from the device and one backwards.
