I am skeptical that Jupiter suffered an nuclear explosion.
Nor do I believe it would cause a chain reaction on Saturn.
if it did, Saturn still doesn't have enough mass to transform into a star.
It could try to become a brown dawrf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_dwarf , but will more than likely turn back into a planet
Saturn and Jupiter might have already tried this in the beginning of the solar system and failed. (one of the reasons they have rings)
it sure would suck if it happened.

Bunch of BS
"Jupiter is called a failed star because it is made of the same elements (hydrogen and helium) as is the Sun, but it is not massive enough to have the internal pressure and temperature necessary to cause hydrogen to fuse to helium, the energy source that powers the sun and most other stars.
"However, Jupiter has only about 0.1 percent the mass of the sun, and as it is definitely not a star, we can't really call the solar system a double star. It is interesting to note, however, that more than half of all stars in the sky are part of a binary, triple, or higher multiple star system (binaries being the most common). So the Sun is unusual in being a loner.
"As for why Jupiter failed to become a star--it probably had to do with the accident of the sun grabbing most of the mass early in the formation of the solar system, while in other systems the mass was more equitably distributed; in binary star systems, for example, the masses of the stars are commonly roughly equal. Stellar formation is a hot topic of current research, as astronomers are trying to fathom the still-mysterious details of the birth process.

Wow, some one has too much time in their hands.
It will make a good script for a movie!
When comet Shoe-Levi 9 hit Jupiter it released more energy than all the atomic weapons in this planet. Did it blew up Jupiter? NO.
Neither Jupiter nor Saturn have enough mass for a self sustained thermonuclear reaction.
You can detonate all the bombs you want even imaginary ones and NOTHING, NOTHING will make those planets ignite.
For a good sci-fi thriller on the subject, read 2010 Space Odyssey by A.C. Clark. Or check out the movie at Block Buster or Next Flix.

Wow... some people will believe ANY nonsense whatsoever, won't they?
I hope you are not one of them.
Let's see... if the Galileo probe exploded and made such a big boom... how comes nobody has seen it?
Oh yeah... nobody saw a thing because it didn't explode. Duh.
Now... if I make a movie tomorrow where I show an artistic drawing of a spherical alien spacecraft and then I show it overlaid with the dome of St. Peter and post that on Youtube, how many will believe that the pope is hiding an alien spacecraft in the Vatican to keep the knowledge that we are not the only life form in the universe hidden from Christians?
Too many, I am afraid. It just boggles the mind how much insanity man is capable of.

this sort of theory has been kicking around in sci-fi for a protracted time. Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, 2001: an area Odyssey (approximately 1968?) had a followup referred to as 2010 which tried to respond to a number of the mysteries of the 1st action picture. (SPOILER caution): The stylish black minimalist sculptures (alien beings void of cuteness) have been certainly clever beings talking to Earth that "something spectacular is going to take place." infinite numbers of those intelligences converged on a considerable planet of our photograph voltaic device, did their element with fusion objective or regardless of, and created a 2d sunlight for Earth basically in time to end the international fool Earth governments from blowing themselves up in a nuclear conflict. each and every physique made effective, stopped conflict, and the cycle of conscious evolution became started on yet another planetary physique someplace by those minimalist oblong sculpture-beings. Sci-fi visionaries might or won't have grains of reality or prescience of their imaginations. besides the incontrovertible fact that, each and every so often skill brokers at the back of wealthy governments have been wide-unfold to do weird and wonderful technological awareness initiatives and experiments on the deliberately uninformed: do exactly your examine and locate out what those have been. examine your materials and shop checking; stability technological awareness with keenly honed severe questioning and instinct.

sure there could be a nuclear explosion on saturn. but it doesnt have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion and become a star.
