I think as with any high tech weapons or items or research or personell you want a failsafe in case an enemy get their hands on it/them. So I think the answer is there was a self destruct planted there in case shit went south to keep it from getting into the enemies hands and them exploiting it. I mean look at how much the Russians and Americans fussed around Sokolov in MGS3 Big Grin!
