Unfortunately, you can't irradiate the level just a little bit and then stop. The second they reversed the air flow, everyone was dead. Every other level was already contaminated so there was nowhere else for them to go to "survive" once Level 5 also became contaminated.

One thing I'd like to have seen was Clarke getting on a PA to everyone in Mount Weather and telling them to fight back against the guards. It probably wouldn't have done any good since, as Maya says, none of them were innocent, but at least it would have been one last attempt before complete annihilation. Who knows? Maybe they had that scene originally but ran out of time.
