"Nuclear Winter" was a scary fiction created by Carl Sagan in an attempt to lobby the United States into unilateral nuclear disarmament and surrender.
In theory, a sufficient number of nuclear weapons detonated on the surface of the Earth would send soot and dust high into the atmosphere, where it would reflect sunlight back into space, causing the Earth to cool and enter a new ice age. (At the time, Sagan was convinced that Global Cooling and an incipient ice age was coming anyway.)
Sagan tried to portray the 1991 burning of the Kuwaiti oil wells as a continent-wide version of this, but it didn't happen; even though the oil wells burned much as Sagan had feared, India and China did not experience severe cooling.

How do you make nuclear winter model?
Start by assuming some 'facts' that would start a nuclear winter. How many bombs must be dropped to actually start a nuclear winter situation? For each bomb, how much dust is kicked up into the atmosphere? Of that, how much will stay in the upper atmosphere? How much sunlight will then be reflected, causing the cooling effect? Make all these estimations. Keep going from there.
