Google Ngram for "nuclear winter" shows awareness exploding in the 1980s: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=nuclear+winter...
The landmark paper was Turco, Toon, Ackerman, Pollack, and Sagan ("TTAPS"), "Nuclear Winter: Global Consequences of Multiple Nuclear Explosions" (1983):
https://doi.org/10.1126%2Fscience.222.4630.1283
While there was some prior work, dating to the 1950s, there was effectively no public awareness.
