Terrible plan almost certainly, but nuclear weapons also notably enhance albedo. Particularly if close enough to the ground to suck up dirt & particles & blast them up & out. Creating that extra fall out is of course yet more radioactive contamination to be dealt with.
The fear of nuclear winter is mostly that it enhances the albedo so much that the world cools, crops wither and die.
