Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Yeahbut...
My recollection, which I admit may be faulty, is that the complex had a nuclear bomb self-destruct mechanism in case something really bad happened. The hero recognized, almost too late, that setting it off might cause the pathogen to mutate faster and/or spread over a larger area and make it even more deadly.

Cheers,
Scott.
(Who should read that and Fail Safe again one of these days.)
New Right... the virus "fed" on radiation.
It wasn't normal mutation, but rather an intrinsic feature of the pathogen.
