Stopping nukes specifically with magic would be simple. Just gate all the free neutrons in a radius to a hundred miles vertically up. Nuclear bombs might as well be fuelled with toffee.
Magic seems to operate on a human level intuitive scale. Doing something just to free neutrons wouldn't fit that pattern.
At least one wizard (Harry) can go deeper than the human level, so it might be possible.
So turn the fuel to toffee.
