"Radioactivity and craters don't cause "nuclear winter" which is the subject under discussion."

Dust... remember this?

"We knew that nuclear explosions, particularly ground-bursts, would lift an enormous quantity of fine soil particles into the atmosphere (more than 100,000 tons of fine dust for every megaton exploded in a surface burst)."

The radioactivity is just an extra added bonus, designed to kill a few more life forms.

Actually, dust plus smoke; can't forget smoke.
