Massive Virus Cloud ?

I'm trying to create a huge virus cloud that when the bomb goes off, it releases radiation and a huge virus cloud that covers a wide area, last for a few minutes and drifts but all effort just fail.
The radiation does work though.

You haven't done anything that will spread the particles out, so it will just spawn them all at the detonation point and then they will drift around based on the wind speed.

Use Velocity= and WindEffect= on the particle to make them move more quickly.

You can also use cluster or shrapnel weapons to make the particles spawn randomly around the detonation point.
